In November, when all of the Thanksgiving fixings are inexpensive, I love to purchase an extra turkey (or two) to put in the freezer. I also buy extra cranberry sauce and yams. These make for an inexpensive meal throughout the year. Since we’re trying to eat mainly out of the freezer and pantry right now to get ready for the move, we decided that it was time for a yummy Thanksgiving dinner – in May. Munchkin was thrilled to get to eat turkey and sweet potato muffins. The good thing is the leftovers will be great the rest of the week!
I too love turkey. I will sometimes ask to have a turkey cut into two pieces as a whole turkey is too much for us to use at once. It cooks faster and is just tasty when I lay the half turkey over the top of some dressing.
Also, I wanted to say thank you to your husband and to you and your little one for the service to our country that your husband gives. I know life as a military family is not always easy. Especially on kids. My own husband is retired USMC. He now teaches ROTC. Blessings. Roxie
