Below you will find an amusing little ditty I came across a few years ago, which just shows how economical (and inventive) you can be if you really put your mind to it when it comes to using up the left over turkey.
THE TWELVE DAYS OF TURKEY
On the first day of Christmas
My true love said to me
I’m glad we bought a fresh turkey
And a proper Christmas Tree
On the second day of Christmas
Much laughter could be heard
As we tucked into our turkey
- A most delicious bird
On the third day we entertained
The people from next door
The turkey tasted just as good
As it had the day before
On the fourth day relations came
Poor Gran is looking old
We finished off the Christmas Pud
And ate the turkey cold
On the fifth day of Christmas
Outside the snowflakes flurried
But we were nice and warm inside
We ate the turkey curried!
Turkey CurryOn the sixth day I must admit
The Christmas spirit died
The children fought and squabbled
And we had turkey rissoles fried
On the seventh day of Christmas
My true love she did wince
As we sat down at the table
To a plate of turkey mince
My true love she did wince
As we sat down at the table
To a plate of turkey mince
Turkey Mince
On the eighth day our nerves were frayed
The dog had run for shelter
I served up turkey pancakes
And a glass of Alka Seltzer
The dog had run for shelter
I served up turkey pancakes
And a glass of Alka Seltzer
Turkey Pancakes
On the ninth day the cat left home
By lunch time Dad was blotto
He said he had to have a drink
To face turkey risotto
By lunch time Dad was blotto
He said he had to have a drink
To face turkey risotto
Turkey Risotto
On the tenth day the booze was done
Except our home made brew
And if that wasn’t bad enough
We suffered turkey stew
Except our home made brew
And if that wasn’t bad enough
We suffered turkey stew
Turkey Stew
On the eleventh day of Christmas
The Christmas Tree was moulting
The mince pies were as hard as rock
And the turkey was revolting
On the twelfth day my true love
Had a smile upon her lips
The guests were gone – the turkey too
We dined on Fish and chips!
Fish and Chips
Do enjoy your Christmas Dinner, and the meals which follow!!
