Thanksgiving Leftovers

Michael and I enjoyed having turkey for a week after Thanksgiving. We made:

1. Handmade buttermilk biscuits with Turkey and a yummy sauce Michael made. 

2. Fried turkey with green beans and some leftover pomegranate molasses glaze.

3. Turkey onion cabbage wraps with a honey soy sauce. I also took the left over mashed potatoes and fried them into crispy medallions.

4. Barbecue turkey with oven roasted red potatoes and green beans and a cream sauce.

5. Pulled turkey and sweet potato gnocchi with a sage and butter sauce. We made a lot of gnocchi dough and have made it throughout the last two weeks with a different sauce to change the flavor. Delicious!

We had so many ideas but of course there is only so much turkey to use. Next year we will have to come up with a whole new set of ideas. What did you do with your leftover turkey?

Round Two: A Durham Thanksgiving

Being married means double the holidays!

We hosted our very first Thanksgiving at our house for the Durham side of the family.

 Michael's first turkey! Thanks Autumn for the perfect turkey gift!

 We started with a delicious tomato soup that Becky made. 

Michael created a pomegranate, molasses glaze for the turkey (probably the best thing I have ever tasted) and we made a sweet potato gnocchi... which was perfection! Top it off with some roasted vegetables and we had a lovely non-traditional Thanksgiving meal. We will be creating that sweet potato gnocchi many more times! I will post the recipe soon!

Family really is the best!

A Goodwin Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving at my parent's house is very traditional. 

We always sit at the same place at the table.

The menu is always the same, 

including a family recipe "Aunt Tilly's Mashed Potatoes"

And the following day always includes decorating for Christmas. 

The jumping jack tree!

I love family!
