Leftover turkey...oh so....good?

As I was browsing the internet, I came across a wonderful recipe that would help deplete my 60 day supply of leftover Thanksgiving turkey.  It is for a turkey pot pie, but of course, I converted it to a casserole and instead of putting this mixture in a gf pie crust, I made some GF  Bisquick biscuits and baked them on top of it. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/dads-leftover-turkey-pot-pie/detail.aspx Here is the link to the wonderful recipe....my family loved it.  The only problem is is that the four cups of turkey that the recipe called for barely put a dent in that 60 day supply and just made more leftovers in the fridge.  Easy lunches to reheat I guess :) 

Adventures in Turkey Shopping

Took me awhile this morning to pick out a turkey at Dillons.  The cheapest ones they had were the JennyO turkeys for 79 cents a pound.  Warning-these are not gluten free, says so right on the ingredient list.  JennyO does have gluten free turkeys, just not the ones on sale right now at Dillons. This is what makes it hard to go to other peoples houses to eat dinner, especially during the holidays, not knowing what brand of turkey they bought or what they marinated their turkey with. Please don't take offense if I don't eat anything that you serve.
  I ended up buying Butterball Premium :)  Can't wait to have my GF Thanksgiving dinner, takes a little extra work, but it is all worth it in the end.  (

"So...what do you eat then, if you can't have gluten?"

One of the first things that people ask after they find out I have Celiac Disease is "What do you eat then since you can't have wheat? That is why you are so skinny if you are not eating any carbs!"  Uhhh......not skinny, i am curvy,.... and I get plenty of carbs. Confusion then sets in with whomever I am talking to at that moment..
Here is a great example of an easy gluten free meal that I would make for those of you that still wonder...
The menu included cheddar stuffed turkey burgers, load baked potato casserole, and sauteed squash with Italian seasoning. (I can't forget the wine)  Here is the easy recipe for those turkey burgers.
1lb. ground turkey, 1tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1Tbsp olive oil.  Combine turkey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.  Divide mixture into four parts and roll into a ball.  Using your thumb, depress a large hole int he middle and fill with about 2Tbsp of cheese.  Then mold the ball around the cheese and depress to form a patty.  Heat oil in non stick skillet and cook for about 9 minutes on one side.  Flip and continue cooking for about 7 to 9 minutes or until the center of patty reaches 165 degrees.  Enjoy....
Yes, this is just one fine example of what I eat (and the loaded baked potato casserole were plenty of carbs for my system for one night).
