- Quick Turkey with Stuffing [View Recipe]
Quick View
Ingredients
- .5 cup onion
- 3 slices bread
- .5 tablespoon butter (divided)
- 4 sage (cleaned)
- 1 tablespoon thyme (cleaned and de-stemmed)
- .5 cup turkey gravy (divided, plus more as desired)
- 4 sliced turkey
- salt & pepper
Instructions
We happen to have cooked chopped onion in the fridge (it pays to cook so much at home), otherwise, we would have started cooking some chopped onion in a pan with a little olive oil. We re-heat the onions in the microwave for 30 seconds or so until hot.
We toast the bread lightly in the toaster oven, butter each slice of bread, and then cut into ½ inch squares. The sage leaves are sliced with scissors.
In a bowl, we mix the toasted buttered cubes with the onions, herbs, and ¼ cup of gravy. We top with the turkey slices and another ¼ cup of gravy. We heat in the microwave for a minute and check. We want the turkey and the "stuffing" heated through and the gravy bubbling.
We divide the turkey and fixings on two dinner plates and season with salt and pepper. We heat more gravy in the microwave and serve on the side.
- Corn with Chives
- Cranberry Sauce
- Sweet Potatoes
- Salad
OK, so we exaggerate a mite. We certainly enjoy this Thanksgiving-like meal, but the main reason for this meal is to avoid wasting food, which we just can not abide. Tonight, we had to use cranberries and turkey gravy (the backup for last Thanksgiving in case anything went wrong) or see them go to waste.
Of course if you are going to have cranberries, you may as well have turkey. And sweet potatoes. Ooh, and stuffing.
