A Foodie Friday Thanksgiving plus another Mariposa Give-away

'Tis the season for foodies and serving pieces. Another contest starts today at DBG for an elegant Mariposa "String of Pearls" oblong casserole (16"L X 11.75" W. Retails for $128.00). Followers' names will be automatically entered, and for additional more chances to win, just leave a message here and/or on Facebook. The winner will be announced on the December 3rd Foodie Friday, along with another contest.

Speaking of oblong casseroles . . .
Even when time isn't short (or leftovers plentiful), I'm a fan of
one-pot meals ...
No traditional "sides," mind you, just salad, bread, and tea.

Leftover turkey (or chicken) is a time-saver for the frazzled foodie--all you need is one pot, salad, and bread.

No leftovers?

Make your own scraps! Yes, indeedy. A deli chicken is an easy way to transform basic stuffing into an effortless meal.

Confession: I even love this cold. I love it better if I'm barefoot, wearing a flannel granny gown, and standing in front of the fridge.

But a plate from Big Lots will do, too, because Frazzled Foodies often suffer from Tablescaping Fetishes.

It's highly incurable, of course.

Deli chicken or leftover turkey/chicken

Pepperidge Farm stuffing mix

Artesian bread cubes (deli leftovers)

chopped onions, bell peppers, green onions, celery

chicken stock

1 stick unsalted butter

2 large eggs

salt, pepper, Tabasco (if desired)

----------------------------------------------------------

Debone chicken. Sautee vegetables in 1 stick unsalted butter. Add to stuffing and chicken. Add chicken stock ("eyeball it," as Rachel Ray says). Cool a little, then add beaten eggs. Season. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.


The winner of last week's tray is Mari at Once Upon a Plate.

I hope everyone has a delightful, food-filled Thanksgiving. If you're new to Foodie Friday, here's a TUTORIAL. For those who wish to participate in this week's recipe exchange, please add your recipe and permalink:

Beautiful giveaway, and a great recipe for leftovers. Of course we just ate the plain old turkey tonight, but as you said, it could be done with a store-bought precooked bird as well. Great timesaver tip!
