Many Dishes one Turkey

Who wants to cook in the heat of summer? Not me! Daniel and I have put to use our roaster. We cooked a 11-12lb turkey. So far we've had turkey tacos and "turkey dinner" and only used half a breast.

Turkey tacos:
cubed/shred turkey warm in skillet with butter and garlic (cheyenne or pepper flakes or taco seasoning if desired)
eat with your favorite taco fixings and shells.

"Turkey Dinner"
melt butter in skillet
add cubed turkey
to turkey add garlic, parsley, white pepper and onion
when turkey slightly browned add 2Tbs of flour to pan and stir.
heat/brown slightly add enough milk to just cover
add green beans and mushrooms (diced carrots and peas would be good too)
cook until thickened and heated through
serve with warm bread, mashed potatoes or crescent rolls.

This dish has the consistency of pot pie filling.

Noah loved it!
