Turkey Giblets
For all of those who keep looking for the answer, NO, it is not dangerous to leave the giblets in the turkey. I don’t recommend it, because they look kind of gross when you take them out of the cavity. Even the little plastic wrapper can be just tossed after cooking. It won’t poison the turkey – or you. We all do it at least once in our turkey cooking lives.

Post-Christmas Cooking
What’s there to cook after Christmas but variants of leftovers, for about a week? Well, less here, with a whole household of good eaters. (Except one. Some one has to be the brunt of our jokes.) Just in case you have a refrigerator full of what-to-do leftovers:
Take the meat from the turkey, cut into edible sized pieces. Put aside some of the gravy. Now butter a casserole dish, line the bottom with mashed potatoes (or stuffing, if you have lots of that) put the turkey pieces on top, pour on the gravy, and top with homemade biscuits. Bake at 350 degrees F. for about an hour, or until everything is heated through and the gravy is bubbly.
