    We use our potatoes for "corn" fritters. We always add the leftover corn and green onions for savory top with butter. Or sweet with just corn and maple syrup

    If you put your aromatics in the microwave for a few mins before putting into the turkey cavity, it gives off more flavor into the bird. I do the same thing when I roast a chicken. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

    You are the most inventive meal planners on a budget. Some others are very repetitive, so I don't get new ideas. Also, you add tons of veg and items like tofu. As a vegan, it's very helpful to see what you come up with. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your channel ❤

    I grew up only having what we called shepherds pie after Christmas . My mum made it with leftover turkey . I believed it was called shepherds pie because of the shepherds who visited the stable at Christmas. I was shocked to find out that it had nothing to do with Christmas ,when I was 18 I still love turkey Christmas shepherds pie

    the original shepherds pies were made with ground lamb - hence the recipe’s name - am a young senior and have only ever made my shepherds pies with medium ground beef (onion and niblets corn in meat mixture / smashed potatoes on top) - would imagine you could use ground Turkey - but not sure about the brown sauce and seasonings from “red meat” versions - did you get any other suggestions 🇨🇦🙏 am watching in July - our Thanksgiving is two months away - may have to do something with turkey thigh to satisfy cravings your video created 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
