I made this Saturday night and it was awesome!

Turkey & Rice Casserole

5 T butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 med. onions, diced
3 c. diced, cooked turkey
1 c. stuffing
3 T fresh parsley, minced
1/2 t. fresh thyme (I used dried)
Salt & freshly ground pepper
1 c. long-grain rice
2 c. chicken or turkey stock, hot

Preheat oven to 375. In 4-qt casserole, melt 4 T butter over medium heat and saute garlic and onions until transparent, about 5 min. Add turkey, stuffing and herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper. Melt remaining 1 T butter in a pan, add the rice and saute over medium heat until it is transparent. Stir the rice and hot broth into the casserole. Cover and bake for 25 min, until the rice is tender. Uncover and bake 15 more min. Makes 6-8 servings.

My favorite lunchbox of all time was my metal Walton's one. For some reason, I loved that show. I had a new lunchbox every school year, but only remember the Waltons one.

I love Zenobia Turkish pistachios. They are hard to find in stores and they're expensive, but they don't even compare to others. I eat them by the 1 lb. bagful!

Well, at least SOME of us will be getting our birds from SE! And I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will be one of them!

(btw, it's really hard to type with your fingers crossed)

My husband announced last night that we are getting a fresh, non-frozen turkey this year. I was rather taken aback as he'd never mentioned it before. I have no clue where it will come from because I've never purchased one!

It's Bill Wegman, and they're Weimaraners not Labs. (I have a print of 'Dusted,' one of his last portraits of Man Ray.)

Oh, Di Paola's is a good idea! I love their sausage and smoked turkey legs.

I don't know. But I better figure it out.

I use dillpickles, onoins, eggs, with a dressing made of mayo, yellow mustard, & sweetpickle juice(off bread &butter pickles). My husband swears he never liked potato salad until he ate mine, but he made me swear I wouldn't tell his Mom.
