Today’s Menu – Leftovers: Turkey and Swiss Melt w/ Green Beans and Deviled Eggs
For Breakfast this Morning I prepared a packet of Pioneer Peppered White Gravy, toasted 2 slices of Aunt Millie’s Light Whole Grain Bread, heated 2 Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, 
and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Another warm Winter Day out today. Partly Sunny and 63 degrees! Not too bad for this time of year. Spent most of the day helping Mom take down and store the Christmas Decorations. Later grabbed a broom and the leaf blower and swept the driveway off and the deck. For Dinner tonight its Leftovers: Turkey and Swiss Melt w/ Green Beans and Deviled Eggs.
I used the leftovers from Christmas Dinner for Dinner tonight. For the Turkey and Cheddar I had already sliced the Leftover Turkey and for the Cheese I used a slice of Boar’s Head Swiss Cheese. To
prepare it I used a small skillet that I sprayed with Pam Non Stick Spray and added a 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil. Heated it on medium. Added my sliced Turkey, flipping it over several times. Then as it was finishing I added a slice of the Swiss and continued cooking for about 2 minutes. Served it on a Healthy Life Wheat Hamburger Bun. I’ve switched back to using Healthy Life Buns. We can no longer purchase or find Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Buns anywhere. The Healthy Life Buns are only 80 calories and 15 carbs per bun. Anyway, I love these leftovers it made one delicious Sandwich!
I also heated up the Leftover Green Beans. Mom had opened up a Mason Jar of our Canned Green Beans. Just as delicious as the first time around! Then I had a couple of Deviled Eggs. Leftovers make one delicious Dinner! For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with a dab of Cool Whip Light.
Roast Turkey………..
Its protein content makes turkey a healthy meat choice. A little-known health benefit of turkey is that it contains trace minerals thought to aid in cancer prevention. Turkey contains selenium, which is essential for the healthy function of the thyroid and immune system.
Turkey meat is loaded with vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Turkey is a source of iron, zinc, potassium and phosphorus. It’s a good source of B vitamins, including B12 which helps prevent the buildup of homocysteine, an amino acid that could potentially decrease cognitive function.

Today’s Menu: Leftovers – Holiday Turkey Gumbo
For Breakfast this morning I toasted two slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread, prepared a packet of Pioneer Peppered White Gravy, and fried 2 Eckrich Smoked Turkey sausage Links. Also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Cold morning out there today, 27 degrees and a cold wind blowing. For the day it mostly cloudy and in the low 40’s. After I had my Breakfast I headed up to McDonald’s to pick Breakfast up for Mom and Dad. I didn’t do a whole lot today. Spent most of the afternoon with a heating pad on my back. From time to time my back gives me problems from being in sitting position so much in my Hoveround or the Wheelchair. Hopefully better tomorrow! Anyway for Dinner tonight it was all leftovers. I had some of the Holiday Turkey Gumbo in the freezer.
I had the Gumbo in the freezer so I sat the container in the fridge overnight to thaw. To reheat it; I used a small sauce pan , that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray. I turned it on medium heat, stirring often, and heated until everything was heated through. i didn’t want the heat to get too hot, that would break the Roux down. The Roux, Rice, Turkey, and Sausage Turkey all heated up perfect! Added a couple of shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. I also had a half loaf of Multigrain Bread that baked. I’ve left the original post below, it has the full recipe with it. For dessert tonight a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.
For Dinner tonight I prepared a recipe based from a Zatarain’s Recipe I received in an email the other day, Holiday
Turkey Gumbo. I’ve left the original recipe at the end of the post. Mine differs in that I just used the Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix with Rice without adding additional ingredients. I’ve made the Gumbo Mix with Rice many times but usually I use Shrimp and Turkey Sausage. This time I’m substituting the Shrimp with leftover Jennie – O Turkey Breast. To prepare the dish I’ll need; 1 – Box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix with Rice, Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage (I cooked this up ahead of time and sliced it into smaller pieces), leftover Jennie – O Turkey Breast (pulled and sliced), and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce.
I used a box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Mix with Rice for the Gumbo base. It’s very easy to prepare, takes about 25-30 
minutes. I just boiled the stock that was in the packet, sliced Butterball Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage, and a few shakes of the Frank’s Red Hot Sauce for 15 minutes. Then I added the leftover Jennie – O Turkey Breast and simmered another 10 minutes. And the Gumbo is ready! It turned out fantastic! Nice flavor and plenty of Rice. The Butterball Turkey sausage and Jennie – O Turkey Breast worked great, made a nice hearty dinner. I just love leftovers!

Today’s Menu: Holiday Turkey Gumbo
For Breakfast this morning I toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin and reheated a couple of slices of the leftover Ham. Also the morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Not a lot going on today. It being Black Friday there was no way I was going around any shopping areas today! I did get out and go to the bank and stopped and got gas. Back home did a few things around the house. I’m having computer problems since yesterday morning. I can go to 2 or 3 sites or do a couple of functions and my computer becomes sluggish and sometimes freezes up, no solution yet I may have to call to have it looked at. I’m lost without my computer!! Anyway for Dinner tonight it was all leftovers. I prepared a Turkey Sandwich w/ Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans.
