Thanksgiving Turkey
I’m not a huge fan of turkey. I appreciate the skill of a good cook, who can make one just right. But I don’t love the turkey taste. I like it well enough at Thanksgiving. But I’ve never understood people who will buy the biggest bird they can find and eat the leftovers for days on end.
Last year one of my SILs made a turkey sage soup. And that is probably my most favorite use of turkey leftovers yet.
So today, I get to the Kroger, and there is almost no chicken for sale. Which is weird since there are dozens of poultry farms nearby. Are they called farms if it’s for chickens? Chicken ranch? Anyway, I saw only a few types of chicken. And all of it is more expensive than last week.
Am I the only person trying to buy chicken this week? How odd.
I made cadon for dinner. Pronounced kuh-doo. It’s Chamarro beef stew. I did this by accident, which seems to be how it always happens. I make lots of Guamanian food on purpose, especially the fried rice. But the cadon is always a surprise. I just put stuff in the dutch oven, and might even think to myself beef stew. But out comes cadon.
I submitted it on allrecipes. But it isn’t approved yet, so can’t share it yet. But I have two other recipes showing there.
DD ate a whole lot of it. I gave her a bowlful and she wolfed it down and asked for more. My dad would be so proud.
Cadon
I experienced the exact same chicken phenomenon today at Kroger.
They are chicken farms.
Have you ever had deep fried turkey. It’s amazing. I love cold turkey sandwiches the next day. A little iceberg lettuce and mayo with salt and pepper. Love it. I have a weird love for cold meat.
The texture of normal oven roasted chicken is far from my fave. Pass the ham.
Liz, thanks for clearing that up. I should have asked sooner, living near all these chickens.
One of my BILs made fried turkey last year, and I think the two years before that also. It was good – but still tastes like turkey to me.
I like ham, or maybe just any meat that is salty. And sandwiches, hot or cold. I like assembling my food between slices of bread.
He’ll be deep-frying the turkey again this year. Mmmmm. Don’t worry, I will take all your leftovers. I love turkey sandwiches, with a nice sharp cheddar and some spicy mustard.
Yum!

Oh, and I also noticed that the bags of chicken breasts, which I have been buying for years, have been reduced from three pounds to two pounds, with the price remaining the same. Very irritating!
(Also, they moved all the chicken this week to make room for the Thanksgiving turkeys. It may be that your chicken was still there, but in a different location. Ours was over by the seafood, and I had to ask where it was.)
