Turkey Burrito
(As Submitted by: Marcy Crossman)
" I've been making this for years, and use whatever I have left over from
Thanksgiving dinner. No one cares about the turkey dinner. They make me do the turkey so I
will make the burritos. This recipe calls for instant flour, formulated to dissolve easily
in liquids, and primarily used as a thickener in gravy recipes. Chicken broth can be used
in place of turkey broth. "
Ingredients
3 cups cooked turkey, chopped
3 cups prepared stuffing
3 cups mashed potatoes
3 cups leftover gravy
3 cups turkey broth
1 onion, chopped
10 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup self-rising flour
3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
Directions
1- In a slow cooker, combine turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, broth, and onion.
Cook for 2 hours, or until onion is soft. When ready to serve, thicken with instant flour
if needed.
2 -Warm tortillas in a dry frying pan over medium heat. Spoon turkey mixture onto a warm
tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and roll into a burrito! Repeat with remaining
ingredients.
3 -Spread more cheese on top and add another spoonful of the turkey mixture over the
cheese. Serve hot.

JEANIE
On the big day we have three favorite ways to do our bird:
Traditional oven with a butter & orange juice basting sauce
Southwestern rub seasoning then deep fried ~ oh so moist
Grilled with seasoning & smoke of choice on the Holland
Grilled & deep fried free up the oven for other goodies & yield the moistest meat.
Have to add here another thing we do with our turkey ~ We have an old Tom, over a dozen
years old, that has free run on the place. He has taken to roosting on the porch rail.
Don't think there are enough marinades in the world to cook this guy tender so guess he
gets to roost where he chooses ~ that and old pet status!
Now for the lefovers!

Turkey Quesadillas
6-8 inch flour tortillas
leftover turkey, sliced or diced
shredded cheese
butter or margarine
small skillet
Optional: Salsa; sour cream; cilantro; refried or black beans, etc.
Heat the skillet over low heat. Warm torilla just until pliable. Layer meat and cheese
inside half of the tortilla and close the other half over the top (taco style). When
desired number of quesadillas have been made, increase heat under skillet to med-high and
heat about two teaspoons of butter or margarine until bubbly. Fry quesadillas on each side
a few seconds until crisp and golden brown. When all are cooked, serve, cut into wedges
with optional ingredients.
Brining Solution for a Succulent Roast Turkey
This works great! Please read all the directions all the way through before you start
though!
Not less than 24 hours before you plan to roast the turkey, prepare a very clean 5 gallon
bucket (with a lid) to hold the turkey and brining solution. Place the wrapped turkey in
the bucket and fill with water to cover. Remove the turkey and measure the water. Add 2
additional quarts to this figure (for the cavity of the turkey that you can't access with
it wrapped up) This will tell you how much brining solution you'll need. In a large
saucepan, measure 1 cup of kosher salt for every gallon of water plus 1/4 cup salt for
every additional quart of water (4 quarts = 1 gallon). Add 1 1/2 quarts of water to the
salt and heat until the salt has dissolved. Add a little more water if needed to get the
salt to dissolve. Allow salt water to cool. Remove the wrapper from the turkey, remove the
giblets from the turkey and rinse the turkey thoroughly, inside and out. Pour the cooled
brining solution from the saucepan into the bucket and add water to fill the bucket about
halfway. Place !
the turkey into the bucket. Finish filing the bucket with water and stir or agitate a
little to mix the solution thoroughly with the water. Put the lid on the bucket and make
sure the turkey is completely submerged in the brining solution. Keep turkey in solution
for 24 hours in a place that is BELOW 40 degrees.
To roast: Rinse the turkey as you normally would and roast.
I find the stuffing too salty if cooked inside the bird when it's done this way. I put a
few ribs of celery and half an onion (sliced) inside instead, and enjoy the reduced
cooking time!
