s/o turkey

do you ever eat turkey when it's not thanksgiving?

other than turkey sandwiches, since it's such a common lunch meat....or when you use turkey to sub as another common meat (like in sausage or ground beef) but do you eat it in it's full-form other times of the year?

just wondering.......

ETA: not thanksgiving *or* christmas.

Re: s/o turkey

  • MIL always does one for Christmas dinner as well.

    I use my left overs in casserole all year long, but I never go out and buy a full turkey and cook it after the Thanksgiving one.

  • I don't cook with ground beef any more. I only use ground turkey now.
  • We never do.

    I actually don't prefer turkey.  I like to eat it at Thanksgiving because it just feels good, but otherwise, I don't eat turkey except lunch meat.  Oh, and yeah, we do have turkey sausage and turkey bacon and stuff for the less calories.

    On the flip side, I like ham as an entree, but I hate ham as lunch meat.

    TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
  • When I lived at home my mom did sometimes but I never have. We also don't use ground beef anymore - only ground turkey.

    This.  We do ground turkey and we do turkey sandwiches, but never cook a whole turkey.

    This may be a dumb question (since I don't ever cook Thanksgiving dinner so I've honestly never cooked my own turkey)... but do grocery stores even stock turkeys all year round?  Like, the full bird?  I know our grocery store down here doesn't, but we're in a neighborhood that is heavily Latino / Hispanic and so our grocery store close by doesn't stock a lot of stuff I'm used to and also stocks a lot of stuff I'm not used to so I don't consider it to be representative of all grocery stores.  But, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't know if I often see whole turkeys in grocery stores apart from around the holidays.... 

    Like PPs, we do turkey sausage and for lunch meats, but never cook the whole bird.  I do roasts and chickens and game hens and what not, but I'm not a huge fan of turkey personally...

    I've seen frozen turkeys in the grocery store all year round. There aren't as many, but they're usually in the "specialty meats" section in the freezer where you have to open the door. I've seen turduken in there too. That's a meat that mystifies me.

    Ha.  Wikipedia "whole stuffed camel".  Whether real or not (people debate whether or not the "recipes" out there for this dish are authentic, or if they're tongue-in-cheek), the "whole stuffed camel" sure is an interesting... and (IMO) horrifying... concept.
