Cooked a 12 lb. turkey in a pressure cooker.
You end up with just tender falling-off-the-bone pieces with no viable or darkened skin. It comes out of the pressure cooker in pieces. Fine with me.

I made fresh turkey soup for two, added some dressing on top which was made separately yesterday.

We ate well, and stored the rest in the refrigerator, until I decide if I will freeze the turkey pieces. We don't want turkey every day for a week.

Clean-up is ongoing, lots of work. I will remember this if ever I cook a turkey again.
I think this is the last one.

Sorry, I had two artificial meat corndogs, and my husband had some leftovers. Not a great day over here. We hope to make lasagna and have tamales for Christmas Day.

Riverdale - sounds awesome. Turkey soup is a favourite of mine.

Alva - your Wok adventures sound great! Cheaper is a real advantage.

send - the pizza sounds good, your plan too.

Pizza will arrive in 30 minutes.
1/2 creamy garlic chicken; 1/2 vegetarian combo.

Someone broke their promise to go shopping today, and I waited too long.

My plan is to be much less angry at everything, and more self-sufficient.
It is working.

Thanks for the recipe, Alva. I am going to be making this. It sounds wonderful.

I have made them by scratch, but don't much anymore, Burnt. I buy mine at Whole Food who makes the best, their 365 brand, and the cheapest imho.

This recipe is so very easy.
Oil in a heavy soup pot. Fry up two chicken breasts that you seasoned SO WELL you cannot see chicken (powdered sage, tyme, smoked paprika, Italian herbs, whatever you want). Remove from pot and die or shred, set aside.

Add a bit more oil and fry up a few diced scallions and some garlic and cook to soft and sweet. Loosen and keep all that stuck stuff from the chicken.
Add in two big tablespoons of tomato paste.
Add in half a jar of sun dried tomatoes (whole food again). I use more.

Mix to a paste and add in one of the big boxes of chicken broth. Book for about 20" on low, and then add in cream (heavy) to taste. Cook another 10 to 15" on low.

Put shredded chicken back in pot.
Add gnocchi and cook until they float to the top and are done to your tooth.
Throw in some hands-ful of chicken.

I saw this recipe on FB thrown together without amounts; to taste, and it's pretty much how I do it.
The sun dried tomatoes are the secret to the sauce! Such a great tomato-tang.

I love gnocchi in soup. I make them homemade and they're the easiest thing in the world.

Lately for me it is having fun with a carbon steel wok and cooking chinese food from scratch. Who knew that the hunan chicken and string beans with its hot chili and black bean sauce is so EASY and CHEAP when I was paying 20.00 for an order of it. Or Mu Shu pork (the pancakes are a problem). I am loving watching videos and cooking away, and because it's mostly veggies I don't have to feel guilty. Usually for me it has been great vats of Italian sauce and building meal around it.
I also have found a recipe for the BEST BEST soup I ever had which amounts to sun dried tomatoes, broth, heavy cream, gnocchi and spinich.

Homemade chicken soup, more chicken soup and even more chicken soup. It was mainly broth and very comforting.

Ham, egg and cheese grilled sounds great, send. So does the burrito, I like to have some beef too.

cw - the cheese sounds heavenly and so does quiche Lorraine. But I would opt for cheese and crackers and savor the cheese flavour.

I think the food I most miss (due to allergies) is cheese. There are so many different varieties and I like most of the ones I have tried. I especially miss the Norwegian gjetost (brown goat cheese - the cheese is brown. I don't know the colour of the goats lol).

Supper was left over pot roast. I carved off a thick slice and sopped up gravy with bread. Mmmm good!!!

I impulsively bought some Jarlsberg cheese because it was on sale and my plan is to use it in a quiche Lorraine. I'll need to make pastry which is something I really don't like to do, but the shells I used to buy are now ridiculously expensive. Not to mention the cost of the bacon.
It's possible I'll just eat the cheese on crackers.

Taking a small bit of ground sirloin and repackaging the rest, I added beans to the pan, wrapped it with a flour tortilla, added cheese and it was a quick burrito, finished in 35 seconds in the microwave.

Not a calorie-safe meal, but filled me up. (Tortillas are higher in calories).
Absent was the good stuff like onions, fresh parsley and cilantro, and the time to do it better.

Easy was priority one.
Getting some beef was the second priority.

I would love a ham sandwich, on any bread. How about ham, egg, and cheese grilled?

Me again!

Supper for me was 1/2 a ham sandwich (gluten free low carb bread) with mustard and lettuce, a few grape tomatoes, and a few berries. Finished up with a cup of decaf.

Anyone else?

Burnt - I watched the Two Fat Ladies as often as I could. It was a great show! Glad your pheasant was good. I wouldn't have a clue what to do with one, or even where to get one.

send - let us know how the Huevos Rancheros works out. I'm with you that we need a little splurge once in a while. Moderation in all things, especially moderation. (Oscar Wilde)

Yes Burnt, a very good thing that bacon, especially in a cast iron pan over the campfire.

But now, both my husband and I do not eat bacon, so I had cooked just two pieces and put the rest in the freezer to give away. Sometimes, we just need a good flavor to splurge, risking gout or heart attack. Lol, live a little beyond retirement ages. Portion control helps so you really can enjoy in small amounts.


With all the good suggestions, I forgot what I was doing that was healthy.

Skipping the cornbread because on Thanksgiving I make Cornbread Stuffing,
cooked outside of a turkey.

Golden, the Huevos Rancheros! Found that recipe and will try it with leftover frozen chili, but not until next month. That was a lot of Chili!

You're speaking my love language now with the bacon and cornbread over the campfire. It's so good. Cowboy cornbread cooked in a skillet with some of the grease from the bacon. OMG, so good.

@golden23

I loved that show 'Two Fat Ladies'. I have Jennifer and Clarissa's cookbook. I would have had no idea what to do with a pheasant if it wasn't for them. It was really good too.

I once saw a recipe on the TV (Two Fat Ladies) for Huevos rancheros  - eggs on a bed of chili. I've used left over chili for that. I've always used ground meat for chili.
Cornbread would go well with that. I have a keto cornbread recipe which uses almond flour and corn seasoning. It's not cornbread but it's quite good and heps with the battle of the bulge.

I baked some chicken thighs tonight, and also did some chicken wings in the air fryer as they needed to be cooked. Good for snacks. Tomorrow will be pan fried salmon as long as it comes in my delivery.
