How to Eat a Leftover Turkey Drumstick

Microwave Instructions:

1: Place drumstick on microwave-safe dish, sprinkle with water and cover.
2: Zap for 30 seconds.
3: Test. If it's still cold, zap it some more.
4: Place folded paper towel ring around bone as handle and eat as-is.

Or! throw it in a pot with some water, poultry bouillon, a bay leaf, thyme, parsley, some onion, carrots, and celery. When it's falling-off-the-bone tender, remove the drumstick and let it cool. While it's cooling add tiny pasta, red lentils, and whatever else you may have laying around the house that's soupish. Discard the bone, chunk or shred the meat and add it back to the pot, and then you have delicious turkey soup. Ta da!!

Wow. I have so much to learn! Lead on, Yoda-master.... I am so excited that you have started this blog! Careful, I might start shadowing your life 48 hours after the fact when I read the fantastic recipes. Or I'll just bribe you to make extra. I promise I will work extra hard to get my junk-food appreciation up to scratch, one gobstopper at a time. :)

I did this with the drumstick you sent home with me last week. It needed way more than 30 seconds, just FYI. :) About 3 minutes of microwaving, and it was tasty.
