As I mentally prepare to make my first non-Thanksgiving turkey ever,

I ask, why is it that the vast majority of us only cook one a year when they are so yummy and usually make several great meals?

1. During the Thanksgiving season, I buy a few frozen turkey breasts

and stash them in my freestanding freezer. Just cooked one last week in fact. Let thaw in fridge a couple days, then place in the ol crock pot with canned green enchilada sauce, some cumin, chopped onion and let it cook for about 3 hours. Check with meat thermometer, cool a few minutes, slice, serve with rice or corn on the cob, some quac and tortilla chips. Easy-peasy and delicious.

I share your wonder that turkey isn't a year round thing. It's so versatile. For summer, cold turkey leftovers + chopped apple, celery, green grapes, pecans makes a lovely summer salad.

2. I do buy several when they're on sale for Thanksgiving and roast one a few more times before summer.

I don’t make one in the hot summer months, though, don’t want to have the oven on that long.

Enjoy!!!

4. I cook turkey when it is cooler outside. I don't like to get the oven going when it is hot. Enjoy your turkey ,John.
