Turkey Sloppy Joes and Peach Cobbler!

  I took almost all of the meat off the bones of the turkey I baked last night and chopped it into a cake pan and added ketchup, mustard, molasses, garlic, salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar, small amount of left over bbq sauce had in fridge, touch of cinnamon, onions, green pepper, brown sugar, red hot (how ever hot you want it).  Stir, taste, bake until thick and bubbly.  When  it got done we had it on the homemade hamburger buns that I talked about in the last post with shredded cheddar cheese.

                                                SO GOOD AND SO FRUGAL!!!!!!


  Now I took the carcass of the turkey and broke it down and put it into two stockpots and added salt and pepper then water to cover turkey and threw on the stove to boil for awhile to make stock for the freezer to use later in the week in stew, rice, or chicken soup.

  When done pour it through a fine strainer and sit in fridge overnight.  The next day the fat will all harden on the top and you will be able to scrape it off.  Then you can either freeze or use.  Stock is expensive so you are saving alot of money here!  This is alot of stock just from boiling carcass of turkey!

  We've all eaten and now everyone's looking at me because dessert a little later is sounding really good and there is nothing made.

  When I went grocery shopping on Friday I went to Food Lion and they,alot of the time, will have close- outs on the shelves and whatever it is its marked down considerably.  I got large cans of peaches 1.29 a can that are usually 1.99 a can.  I bought all 8 cans that they had because at a time like this when everyone wants dessert and I do not feel like making some long drawn out recipe I can whip together a peach cobbler in minutes and it will be delicious and cheap to make!

1 1/4 cups milk, slightly warmed

1.Place all ingredients in pan of bread machine according to manufacturer's directions.
2.Select dough setting.
3.When cycle is complete, turn out onto floured surface.
4.Cut dough in half and then each half in half.
5.Cut each of the 4 pieces in 3 pieces so you have 12 total.
6.Place on greased baking sheet far apart and brush with melted butter.
7.Cover and let rise until doubled, about one hour.
8.Bake at 350° for 9 minutes.
9Note: Oven temperatures vary so check after 9 minutes to see if done. Some reviewers baked these anywhere from 12 to 30 minutes.
10.I brushed the tops with butter after they were done also (optional).

  I am going to freeze a couple of these cause I made 24 to many for today and see how well they hold up and then I will post if they do or don't.  I have a feeling I will not be buying buns again at the store.  Once you taste these the store bought are kind of a joke (in comparison).

BUSY BUSY SATURDAY!!

  I was going to sleep in today but the dogs thought otherwise.  I don't think I would be in such a big hurry to go out in the ice.  They ran out the door like they were free until they realized what it was like out there and they all ran did there business and was back to the door in 5 minutes.  Well I'm up time to get started!

  I got my list that I made when I went to bed now to by pass the living room without looking at it or I will stop and clean it before getting to the kitchen ( too late I seen it, oh no!) and I need to get the breadmakers loaded to make homemade hamburger  buns for todays turkey sloppy joes and I am making 12 extra to freeze for later.

  The grandbabies had alot of fun in the living room while we all watched  Kitchen Nightmares with Gorden Ramsey so it is a disaster and I like it to be clean before I sit down to watch tv or be on the computer. Oh well they had alot of fun!

    Ok off to the kitchen I will have to come back to this in a minute.  I stayed up last night and cooked the turkey I had been thawing in the fridge for the past few days so I could de-bone it today to make the sloppy joes and probably a few more meals also since in weighed 28 lbs.  Paid 10 dollars for it so very frugal.

  Well I also need to tackle the laundry mountain today while I cook its a good thing my washer is right off the kitchen.

 Will be back with pictures in awhile!  Hopefully with clean living room pix and an organized laundry room!
