    Okay, today is the day for cold leftover turkey sandwiches, turkey soup, turkey casserole, for the next few days it'll be gobble, gobble, gobble, and then, I guess, that's it for a year.  Wonder why turkey is so compressed just into the Thanksgiving season and that's it.  I guess some people have a turkey for Christmas but at least here in my part of the USA, ham seems more popular for Christmas and Easter than turkey.....odd how food traditions take root and then take forever to change.  Okay, might as well begin your day with leftovers and go from there!

    Yesterday's turkey can be used in all sort of leftovers!

    TURKEY OMELET

    6 eggs
    ¾ cup evaporated milk
    salt and pepper, to taste

    9 teaspoons onions, finely chopped
    12 teaspoons tomato sauce
    9 teaspoons green peppers, finely chopped
    3 slices sharp cheddar cheese

    Combine eggs, evaporated milk, salt and pepper. Beat well. In a separate bowl, combine turkey, onion, tomato sauce, and green pepper. Melt butter in an 8 inch skillet, preferably with rounded sides, over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Let cook, without stirring, until it is about three-quarters cooked, with just the top not cooked. Carefully loosen with a metal spatula and turn. When the underside is cooked, spread the turkey mixture on one half of the omelet. Spread the torn cheese pieces over the turkey mixture. Fold omelet over to cover the filling.
    Serve as soon as the cheese is melted.
