Food & Drink - 23 November 2007

I'm thinking about becoming a vegetarian because I don't like seeing animals get tortured anymore. I'll probably go cold turkey for a while because I'm new to this so it's hard. I've been a meat eater and meat lover all my life. But now I feel a little uncomfortable & guilty when I eat a cheeseburger or anything that contains meat. I can probably give up meat, cheese, eggs, milk, and anything else that involves animals, but I don't know if I can give up yogurt (frozen too) and ice cream because I love them! Can I still eat yogurt? I can probably give up ice cream and substitute it for frozen yogurt because they taste the same, but yogurt is also dairy, so what to do? I've tried those soy ice cream and they're nasty so I'm never going to eat them again! Plus, one other problem is that I love this Thai curry chicken w/noodles dish and it's my favorite food but now I'm sad I have to let it go. I mean, I know I can eat it without the chicken but it wouldn't taste the same.

Would you like to share a turkey "left-over" recipe that isn't soup, or a sandwich?

I have one for you! Thanks. Happy Shopping Day!

Turkey Tetrazzini

1/2 cup butter
2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
2 Tbsp. flour
2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup Half and Half
Salt and pepper to taste
3 Tbsp. dry sherry
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
3 cups cooked turkey, cut into bit sized pieces
7 oz. cooked spaghetti
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Melt butter in large pan and cook mushrooms until just tender. Add flour and, while stirring slowly, stir in chicken broth. Cook over medium heat while stirring until mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat and add Half and Half, sherry, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Add turkey and cooked spaghetti and mix well. Pour mixture into an ungreased 13 x 9 inch baking dish and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes.

The Skinny: Use low fat chicken broth and substitute low fat evaporated milk for the Half and Half.

Happy Cooking!
