Every Thanksgiving there is turkey leftover and over the years I have picked up a few useful recipes. I hope you enjoy them!!
New England Corn-and-Turkey Pie
Yield: 6 servings
- 3 cups chopped cooked turkey
- 3 eggs, well beaten
- 3 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1-1/2 cups corn kernels
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 1/4 cup minced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup sauteed mushrooms
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- pinch of pepper
Place turkey into the bottom of a greased quiche pan. Beat together eggs, milk, and flour. Add remaining ingredients to egg mixture and pour over the turkey. Bake at 325 degrees F for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Follow any outdoor winter activities with steaming bowls of this rich, chunky chowder.

Combine stock, potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, and parsley in soup kettle. Simmer, partially covered, 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add milk, cream, and turkey. Season with salt and pepper. Heat thoroughly.
Mountain Biking on a Unicycle
You know all about mountain biking, but I don't think you've been properly introduced to mountain unicycling (aka Muni). Yes, you heard that right -- mountain unicycling. It's a subset of a larger sport known as extreme unicycling and it's pretty crazy.
If you think mountain biking or BMX is dangerous because of the possibility of crashing, then you might not want to check out Muni. UPDs (or unplanned dismounts to you and me) are a fact of life and there's no such thing as coasting, given the mechanics of the unicycle.
But that doesn't mean you can't do just about everything you can do on a downhill mountain bike with a unicycle -- in fact, you can probably do more. Or at least different things. And if you check out the video below of Kris Holm, an acknowledged legend in the sport, you will see a few things you might not ever see done on a regular bike (haven't seen many bikes on the railings of bridges, myself).
