I love turkey recipes. I may do the soup and casserole but the tortellini and shepherds pie may make an appearance this year. - 11/25/2010 1:11:08 PM

At my house we always threw the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and green bean casserole together in a casserole. Delicious, but i think this year i'm going to try for something a little less caloric - 11/24/2010 6:43:58 AM

After a few days of traditional, I tend to go ethnic. I've done Curried Turkey over rice; a neighbor does killer Turkey enchiladas. The previous poster's Sweet & Sour Turkey sounds fun too! - 11/24/2010 3:05:43 AM
