Thanksgiving Leftovers

We had a rather impromptu Thanksgiving dinner this year.  We had planned to eat at our friend's house but they had a family emergency so we gracefully uninvited ourselves. 

Lars thinks the best part of Thanksgiving are the left-overs, so even though we had other plans, he still bought a turkey.  Lars got it in the brine around 11 and in the oven around 4.  Needless to say, we didn't sit down to eat until 7:30 p.m.  I had already made whipped sweet potatoes with hazelnut struessel, roasted brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce with orange and ginger, and apple crisp.  I made stuffing, mashed potatoes. dill carrots and a pumpkin pie.  Lars finished the turkey and made gravy and we ate a feast!  It was delicious and we had a wonderful day cooking and being together as a family.

I just got my camera back from being fixed (HOORAY!!) in time to document my leftover Turkey Sandwich creation.


Rosemary Turkey Salad Sandwiches

1/2 c olive oil mayo
1/2 c fat free sour cream
1 t lemon juice
2-3 t chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 t pepper
1/2 t salt
1/4 t garlic powder
1 t dried minced onion
1 stalk celery minced
Mix all.  Add more or less of anything to your own taste.
Stir into 4 cups chopped turkey.

Serve on bread or croissants with left over cranberry sauce!
(If you don't have any cranberry sauce stir some Craisins in with the turkey salad.)
