It’s so easy! Just peel and cube your desired amount of potatoes, and boil until tender in salted water. Throw in your favorite potato salad ingredients; eggs, pickles, onions, peppers, celery, etc… and toss them with the boiled potato cubes. I like my potato salad warm so I don’t wait for the potatoes to cool. Then add Anne’s “The One” Dressing until you get the consistency you want.

Cook strips until lightly brown. Remove from oven and turn oven to broil. Using a teaspoon, lightly top each strip with your favorite pizza or spaghetti sauce. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top and put in oven until cheese melts. Be sure to watch the oven because it only takes a few minutes. And enjoy!

Egg Gravy!

Nov14

Egg Gravy

Somehow we never seem to have enough gravy to last through the remnants of leftover turkey and so here is a simple recipe that will make using leftover turkey a snap.

Ingredients:

  • 6 hard boiled eggs
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 T  Anne’s Chicken Base
  • ¼ cup corn starch
  • Salt, pepper, ½ t poultry seasoning if desired

Instructions:

In a 2 qt saucepan put the water, chicken base, and chopped eggs. Bring to a boil.

Add 4 T water to the corn starch making a slurry .Slowly add this to boiling mixture stirring as adding. Mixture will thicken. If you need it thicker add more cornstarch slurry; thinner, add more water. Taste for seasoning. Add salt, pepper, poultry seasoning if desired.

Dish Suggestions.

Open faced turkey sandwiches- a good way to use the small pieces as you clean up the bones. I like to make this with slices of French Bread buttered and toasted. Just put your turkey pieces on top of the bread and ladle hot egg gravy over the top. So good!

Turkey hash- another way to use the leftover turkey pieces. I like to add giblets to my egg gravy for this dish if I have any.  Chop turkey meat and add to egg gravy. Ladle over rice or mashed potatoes.

Turkey dressing casserole- Dressing is favorite holiday dish and sometimes I will freeze about 2 cups of chopped turkey to make this dish later. Make your favorite dressing recipe, stir in the thawed chopped turkey and bake. Make the egg gravy above and when casserole is done, cut into squares, put on plate and ladle hot egg gravy over it.
