This week I am starting to find turkeys at around a dollar per pound. I enjoy roasting turkey like I do chicken. If you prepare it as I have shown in the recipe posted this week you can cook it in the time it takes to prepare chicken. Use the left overs for sandwiches, cube it for a stuffed potato and make a great soup. Thanks to my friend Bonnie there is a great corn chowder on the menu. I served this at a dinner party with a good crusty bread and salad and everybody wanted a second bowl. Also this week I show you a quick and easy lasagna where you do not have to pre cook the pasta and you use regular lasagna pasta not the no cook kind. Add some sausage if you have some. Note some of the items I show from week to week on the shopping list do not have to be purchased every week. I bought a bag of potatoes and got another free. (Don’t need them for a while). I list them to make sure you have them on hand before you head to the store.
