White Asparagus with Mary Rose Sauce
Turkey Stuffing Pie
Anything else left in the fridge

Cooking time: 45 minutes for menu           Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

   Our traditional 'Day After Turkey Day Dinner'.  If you  have leftover soup use that as a first course.  If not try something Spanish: White Asparagus with Mayonnaise.  I changed it a bit, serving it Irish-style with Mary Rose sauce rather than Garlic Mayonnaise.

White Asparagus with Mary Rose Sauce

Total time: 5 minutes
      This is a classic Spanish first course.  They are usually huge, fat asparagus spears with freshly made mayonnaise.  The asparagus is always, canned; never fresh, and rarely green.  It's also wonderful!  I salute the Irish with the Mary Rose sauce...

White Asparagus with Mary Rose Sauce Ingredients:

 Instructions:

Turkey and Stuffing Pie

Total time: 45 minutes
    A variation on the traditional Shepherd's Pie or the American Pot Pie.  If you don't have leftover turkey substitute 10oz turkey, cut into pieces and sautéed with onions.  If you don't have leftover dressing you can substitute 2 potatoes, boiled and mashed or even a sheet of puff pastry.

Turkey Stuffing Pie Ingredients:

 Instructions:

Note:  If you are using potatoes, peel, cut and boil in salted water for 15 minutes.  Mash with a bit of milk; then mix with egg and proceed.

If using puff pastry, cut to just fit over top of pie, inside baking pan.  Bake until puffed and golden.
