Title: Olive Cheese Bread ,,, 1 Packet cheese mix ... has the
benefit of being a good use for those "cheese" packets that
come in Kraft dinner after I've used the macaroni to make
chilli-mac.

My store carries cheese powder in bulk VERY cheaply, so I buy plain
macaroni, never KD. I might use cheese powder in my breads but
always real cheese in my mac and cheese and chili-mac. I just
checked prices at Loblaws on-line: KD is $1.66 per box, so $8.80/kg
while macaroni starts at just $2.80/kg.

Since there's a turkey in the oven today there'll probably be a
macaroni and cheese dish something like this sometime next week:

When I make a white sauce with mustard in it I generally use
white pepper, add cayenne and just a pinch of nutmeg. -JW

I, too, never buy KD. But I do get the generic/store brand Mac n Cheeze
when it's on "special" I average around 20c/box. And the portion of
pasta is about perfect for a 2 serving go at chilli-mac using canned
chilli.

Here's one I like for leftover turkey:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Lemon Pesto Turkey Pasta
Categories: Poultry, Pasta, Citrus, Vegetables, Sauces
Yield: 3 Servings

Salt
2 lg Eggs
Zest of one lemon
1/2 c Basil pesto (see below)
1/2 lb Farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 tb Olive oil
1 md Chopped onion
1 cl Garlic; minced or more
2 c Chopped cooked turkey meat
Fresh ground black pepper

MMMMM---------------------FRESH BASIL PESTO--------------------------
2 c Fresh basil leaves; packed
1/2 c Freshly grated Parmesan-
- Reggiano or Romano cheese
1/2 c Extra virgin olive oil
1/3 c Pine nuts or walnuts
3 cl Garlic; minced
Salt & fresh ground pepper

Special equipment needed: A food processor

Make the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add
a Tbsp of salt for every 2 quarts of water. (While the
water is coming to a boil, make to pesto to save time.)

Combine the basil in with the pine nuts, pulse a few times
in a food processor. (If you are using walnuts instead of
pine nuts and they are not already chopped, pulse them a
few times first, before adding the basil.) Add the garlic
and cheese and pulse a few times more.

Slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream while the
food processor is on. Stop to scrape down the sides of the
food processor with a rubber spatula. Add a pinch of salt
and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Serve with pasta, or over baked potatoes, or spread over
toasted baguette slices.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest,
and half-cup of pesto. Set aside.

Add the pasta to the boiling water. The pasta should take
10 minutes to cook to al dente, cooked through but still a
little firm. Cook on a rolling boil, uncovered.

While the pasta is cooking, cook the onions in a large
sauté pan in olive oil on medium heat until translucent.
Add the garlic and chopped cooked turkey meat. Cook until
heated through, then remove from heat.

When the pasta is ready, reserve 1/2 a cup of the pasta
cooking water and drain the pasta.

Add the hot, drained pasta to the pan with the onions and
turkey. Pour the egg mixture over everything and quickly
stir to combine. The heat of the pasta will cook the eggs
sufficiently, though keep the pan off the heat or the eggs
in the sauce will curdle.

Salt to taste (depending on the saltiness of your leftover
turkey and the saltiness of the pesto, you may not need
any additional salt). Sprinkle with freshly ground black
pepper to serve. (If you want, sprinkle with a little
fresh lemon juice as well.) Add back a little of the
reserved pasta water if you want the pasta a little more
loose, or if it is too dry.

Title: Lemon Pesto Turkey Pasta

For Canadian Thanksgiving yesterday we had the standard roast turkey
and traditional sides, with one exception: no potato dish. When I went
shopping Saturday the parking lot and the store were both jammed. I
guess I should have gone a couple of days earlier. The store was out
of many items including potatoes. Also they were out of Brussels
sprouts and parsnips so I had to make due with green beans and
carrots for my two sides. Things were a bit different this year as we
only had three of us at the house for dinner, although we did
deliver 3 plates to people who are housebound who would have been
table guests in the old days.

Today we dined simply on turkey and cranberry bunwiches. I'll get
more creative tomorrow.

Been several years since I bought *any* M&C. Last time was at National Supermarket (now defunct) when they were closing out their store-brand
in packets of five 7 oz. boxes for just U$1. I bought three packs and
still have a couple boxes in the cupboard. That was when I was still in Trailer-Trash Acres and before I bought this house. Currently my best
price on store brand M&C is U$0.39 (was U$0.89) Hy-Vee Original Macaroni
& Cheese Dinner - 7.25 oz.

Title: Easy Leftover Turkey Stroganoff (?)
Categories: Poultry, Mushrooms, Dairy, Herbs, Pasta
Yield: 4 Servings

1 cl Minced garlic
3 tb Olive oil
1 c Sliced mushrooms
3 c Good, thick turkey gravy
1 tb Dry summer savoury
1 ts Fresh ground black pepper
1/2 c Dairy sour cream
4 c Leftover turkey diced/sliced
- or shredded

Begin by sauteing the garlic and mushrooms in the
olive oil for several minutes until the mushrooms
begin to get some good colour.

Add the other ingredients except the turkey and
simmer for only about 5 minutes.

Add the leftover turkey and continuing to simmer until
the turkey is well heated.

Serve over egg noodles.

Author: Barry C. Parsons

UDD NOTES: Barry calls this 'stroganoff'. I wouldn't.
I was out of summer savory - so substituted a mix of
thyme and sage - quite successfully. I used store
sourced wide egg noodles rather than making my own.

We do this as well. The Kraft cheese powder is gluten free so when

Except for the pasta part! But I appreciate that you don't want
cheese powder becoming air borne dust while the pasta itself is not
going to contaminate your kitchen.

We used to buy KD whenever our grandkids were visiting as they
preferred it over my homemade version. When I offered them grated
cheese, diced ham or Kielbasa to improve it or chunky tomato relish
instead of ketchup they said," No thanks, we prefer it ghetto style;
it's not supposed to be fancy."

But last time they were here in August all three of them went out
and bought their own Annie's Shells & White Cheddar. It was
marginally better than KD but not as good as mine IMO.

I went online tonight and was horrified to discover that it $3.49 a
box, $2.05/ 100g.

Their blurb tried to justify the premium price with

"We Partner with People & Places We Trust....
To grow the organic wheat.
To make flour for our macaroni and to produce milk for our cheese.
To make your meal wonderfully wholesome & delicious!

We work with trusted suppliers to source only non-GMO ingredients.

Ingredients: Organic Pasta (organic Wheat Flour), Dried Cheddar
Cheese (pasteurized Milk, Bacterial Culture, Salt, Non-animal
Microbial Enzymes), Whey, Butter, Milk, Salt."

Those kids have way too much money!
