Mario Unclogged: Marinara Sauce
This is the way I have always made my bacis tomato gravy (though not always with the carrot, though I can see using it for the sweetness it adds. This is a good basic tomato sauce. A good place to start off.
Can I freeze my cooked turkey?
They sell already cooked frozen turkeys, so I really don't see any reason why you can't freeze your already cooked turkey meat. It might affect the taste of the turkey, but I am sure that this is a better thing than throwing away ruined food.....

Mario Unclogged: Marinara Sauce
I cant imagine making a marinara without basil, oregano, fresh black pepper or crushed red flake, and a bay leaf. Is the purpose of the carrot to take the acidic edge off of the tomatoes?
Also, I have seen real Italians add celery to their sauce as well. Not for me, thanks. btw, my mother was born in Venice of Italian parents, so that makes me anglo-venetian, but I learned to make sauce from my southern Italian buds.

I always put tomatoes through a food mill (smallest holes) to remove skins and seeds, which contribute the the bitter flavor people comment about. Nearly everyone I know puts sugar in their tomato sauce, even people "off the boat". Whenever I hear this, I know they aren't straining the tomatoes. It's a lot of work and makes a big mess, but I wouldn't make tomato sauce without doing it.

A girl after my own heart. What a great deal you got! That is a lot of turkey for one person, but you won't get tired of it. There are just so many delicious ways to eat it. I always cook a turkey for me, if I'm not hosting the holiday dinner. I love the leftovers and the sandwiches. Have to make soup, too. And having frozen packages for quick dinners is great. I do some portions with gravy, and others with broth. Enjoy your bounty!

I know I'm late to the party and I don't know if this'll ever be answered, but I'm correct in assuming that the tomatoes used are *not* seeded at all? I've seen so many recipes go back and forth on the issue, and I'm curious about what everyone is doing with this particular recipe.

Ravara: Wut wut wut?!!! Of COURSE I have it! I've turned too many people on to Super Marzano not to have it Yes, yes, it's not technically San Marzano, it's better.....it's SUPER Marzano! Come on out to my tomato seedling sale and pick some up. I've always got a lot of Super Marzanos for peeps. www.GrowBetterVeggies.com
Does this constitute spam? Forgive me if so. Just trying to spread the tomato love....
Mario Unclogged: Marinara Sauce
In case anyone who might benefit sees this, I agree with gmunger that I'm sad to see Mario, who has seen the joys of California produce, claim you can't get good San Marzano tomatoes in the US. I assure you that Mariquita and twosmallfarms dot com have fabulous San Marzanos for cooking- they suck for raw stuff, they are TOO low acid, but holy jeez cooked.. Love Apple Farms doesn't have it on their grow list this season- http://loveapplefarm.typepad.com/growbetterveggies/love-apple-farms-2008-tom.html but I bet Cynthia can tell you something good...
