Thanksgoving Leftovers

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS Thanksgiving has now come and gone, But we’ve still got turkey by the pound, So the question now becomes, What leftover recipes can be found? We can have turkey tetrazzini, Turkey chili with lots of beanies, Turkey chow mein, Turkey with whole grains, Cause we’re not thrilled by more turkey plain. Turkey stacked on white bread, lots of mayo, Turkey quite spicy doused with lots of Old Bay, Pasta with turkey spaghetti sauce, Turkey on a salad gently tossed, And let’s not forget some turkey jerky. Ben Franklin pushed the turkey for our national bird, Cause turkey provided sustenance, that’s what he heard. But he didn’t face the problem that confronts us today, How do we make so much leftover turkey go away? Turkey is quite versatile, Help us eat a pile, Eat the neck, munch the gizzard, So much white meat, it’s a turkey blizzard. And let’s not forget the turkey liver, That’s the part Grandma says to give her. Our turkey didn’t fly the coop, That’s why we’ll enjoy turkey noodle soup, Turkey in the straw, turkey cole slaw, Take my advice, try turkey fried rice, Turkey pot pie, Got to give it a try. How many days can one turkey last, If we don’t get rid of these leftovers fast, Then we’ll have turkey coming out our ears, And we’ll eat turkey for a couple years. Oh, no, I just remembered, Christmas is coming soon, We can’t eat another turkey or we’re gonna swoon. Guess instead we’ll serve ham, leg of lamb with mint jam, can of spam, A dozen clams, with a side of yams and crackers of graham. Anything but turkey!
