What more can I make from thee

We had Thanksgiving dinner over here. The in-laws and my parents who brought along my niece joined us. We borrowed a nice turkey fryer from my sister-in-law knowing how juicy the turkey would be and the convenience of saving oven space and time. Well, we should have known when we read the instruction manual and found it terribly vague. There was no mention of how much oil to use, if the turkey had to be fresh or frozen, at what temperature to cook and it was missing a critical piece to it, the part that lifts the turkey out of the basket. After a couple calls to the manufacture and dropping 30 dollars on frying oil we were set. We did just like we were told and even though we had a turkey 3lbs smaller than the max the oil wouldn't cover it. The result was us having to flip the turkey with out the tools to do so. A cardboard box, tongs, and icing knife did the trick but still left us with raw turkey when dinner time came. Luckily my Aunt sent us practially a whole pig which was delicious and saved the day.

We have recooked the turkey and still have much of the pork leftover. What more can I make with this meat. I can only eat Thanksgiving dinner so many times and turkey sandwichs have lost their appeal. I cannot let this go to waste after spending two weeks budget on this stuff. There is also still the job of taking down the fryer, filtering the oil, and loading it all back up. Ugh...maybe I'll be done by Christmas which we are eating out by the way.
