Day One Hundred Twenty-Nine

I'm not a turkey fanatic but I do love turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce. The only thing I have left of the turkey and turkey breast I cooked this season is the breast which is great for just that. I usually balk at all the turkey recipes that seem to flood the cooking magazines - most of them sound just dreadful. I think you can really overdose on turkey if you're not careful. Recently, I informed my friend Marti of just how repugnant I found leftover turkey recipes when I commented that I hated turkey soup. Since she's a soupaholic, like me, I think she was shocked. But I must admit, and will probably take some ribbing for it, I did end up making turkey soup for dinner tonight. I had a ham bone that I threw in a pot to cook down for broth and added some onion, carrots, celery and some Harvest Grains Blend that Trader Joe's sells which is a nice blend of Israeli couscous, orzo, baby garbanzo beans and red quinoa. I also added the fried sage leaves I had left over, some herbs de provence and, yes, turkey! A little turkey gravy in the broth was good as well. Yum, it was good.
