This is about all the turkey we can handle... Made some enchiladas out of the rest of the leftover turkey. Probably added beans and peppers or something like that. Frontera enchilada sauce.
Pretty good, but it is turkey...

Salmon and Roast Potatoes
We got a bag of tasty-looking fingerling potatoes from the CSA. Roasted them at 425 for 30 minutes with oil, salt, pepper and herbes de provence. They were pretty tasty. Baked some salmon fillets to go with them. Salt, pepper, oil, thin lemon slices. Nice salad. Go us.

Borscht
Moosewood pg. 27. Kind of made 1.5 times the amount. Beets, potatoes, celery, a good amount of cabbage, no dill (sad). Used most of a can of crushed tomatoes. Was a bit thicker than last time (when? 2 years ago???) but hard to say. Pretty tasty. Served with black bread, which was yummy.

Shredded Chicken and Green Chili Tacos
Standard crock pot chicken tacos. Tasty. I added the poblanos at the beginning, but they were small ones so the skins were not an issue.

Green Tomato Sauce
http://mistermeatball.blogspot.com/2011/09/roasted-green-tomato-sauce.html
8 pounds of fresh tomatoes, cored and quartered or loosely chopped
1 onion, roughly chopped
5 to 7 garlic cloves, peeled and split
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, or enough to coat ingredients
Salt and pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes to taste
10 to 12 basil leaves, chopped (reserve to add after cooking)
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F.
In heavy Dutch oven, place tomatoes, onion and garlic. Add olive oil and stir. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste.
Place in oven and roast for 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours (check and stir when you begin to smell the sauce, then keep roasting until you like the look and feel).
When sauce reaches desired consistency, remove from oven. Lightly mash tomato mixture with heavy spoon or potato masher, then add basil and stir.
Serve over pasta, to top fish or chicken, or as side dish. Sauce flavor deepens deliciously over 1 to 3 days while refrigerated. Can also be frozen.

We needed to add some sugar the first time we made it (used pretty much all green tomatoes). The next time we made it we used almost all red tomatoes and did not add sugar.

Central Texas Slaw
http://www.southernliving.com/food/entertaining/coleslaw-recipes/central-texas-slaw-recipe
We double it or so, like we normally do. But used the single amount of sugar and olive oil which was good. This was tasty.
Whisk together
1/4 cup white vinegar,
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil,
2 Tbsp. sugar,
3 to 4 Tbsp. fresh lime juice,
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt,
1/2 tsp. ground coriander,
1/4 tsp. ground cumin,
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper,
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
in a large bowl.
Add:
2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage;
2 cups thinly sliced white cabbage;
1/2 cup shredded carrot;
1 medium jalapeƱo pepper (with seeds), thinly sliced;
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced;
and 1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced.
Toss to coat. Chill 1 hour before serving, tossing occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro just before serving.

Turkey Chipotle Chili
This time we are going to use 2 20 oz packages ground turkey. 2 cans cannellini, one can black. Tomatillos, chipotle in adobo, the works. Turned out spicy this time.
