Thanksgiving Sundae

Thanksgiving Sundae

Thanksgiving has come and gone and many of us are either enjoying or enduring the last few days of turkey leftovers. I remember as a child feeling like the turkey leftovers went on forever. My mom had a few signature dishes for taking care of them, some of which I liked a lot more than others.

By day three it was getting harder and harder for her to “sell” turkey for dinner, but I have a feeling that if she had presented us with this fun twist on turkey we would have dug in with gusto. We suggest serving this unusual sundae with a crisp salad and some crusty rolls.

THANKSGIVING SUNDAE

125 mL / 1/2 cup Chopped Cooked Turkey

75 mL / 1/3 cup Gravy

45 mL / 3 Tbsp. Cranberry Sauce

1 large scoop Stuffing

1 large scoop Mashed Potato

Fresh Sage Leaves, for garnish (optional)

Heat turkey, gravy, stuffing and mashed potatoes in separate bowls in microwave until hot. Scatter 30 mL (2 Tbsp.) turkey in bottom of heat resistant parfait glass. Pour 30 mL (2 Tbsp.) gravy over top. Spoon 30 mL (2 Tbsp.) cranberry sauce over gravy.

Top with stuffing, remaining turkey and mashed potato. Pour remaining gravy and cranberry sauce over potato. Garnish with sage leaves if desired. Makes 1 sundae.

A self-clearing ice cream scoop is a very versatile tool. I use it to portion batter for cupcakes and muffins, to scoop cookie dough, and of course ice cream.  It also makes portioning potatoes or other mashed foods quick and easy when plating dinner for a crowd. Just be cautious if the food you are trying to scoop is too dense or stiff because it may damage the scoop.
