Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)

Has anyone tried to make bacon without salt using this recipe or another recipe, but also without salt?

 
Tex-Mex Ragu sans carrots.

i love turkey i bought 5 of them a few weeks ago. i cant pass up a deal. lol. was like less then 7 bucks per bird
 
i found out today that butter isnt just only easy to make. but i found out ive almost made it a few times when making whipped cream lol. ps that looks yummy poppy
 
Had about a half pound of turkey meat left from the carcass. See, as one cuts the meat small flakes come off slices, and with the back and other areas there are small pieces of meat that don't end up on the serving tray. Each year I collect that in a cereal bowl. Makes great turkey salad much like tuna salad or chicken salad.

A few years back I had some teeth cut out. Instead of eating jello until the stitches were out I used a Ninja food processor to pulverize stuff like Fritos, sandwiches and anything else I wanted to eat via spoon. For years I chopped the turkey meat with a knife. It took about an hour to get it to the consistency of rice sized pieces. But the Ninja does it in seconds.

The Ninja

Once the meat is "minced" you can add ingredients like relish, pulverised pickles, onions or what have you. Add a binder like mayo, or mustard if you like mustard.

I added celery and mayo.

Mix thoroughly then add salt/pepper to taste. I had a leftover stalk of celery and pulverized it to tiny bits. About 15 twists with a sea salt grinder , and 15 twists of a black peppercorn grinder gave it the flavor I wanted.

The finished product.
You can eat it right away but I put mine covered with alluminum foil in the fridge each year and let it age a few hours. A half pound makes 3-4 sandwiches depending on how thick you like it.

Hmmm, I have a ninja, and lots of leftover turkey. I don't particularly like turkey and saved the good stuff and threw the carcass away, including all the meat that is attached to it. I might give your ninja suggestion a try. I guess if I add enough celery, onions and garlic, with mayo, it won't taste too strongly like turkey, and it'll be good on toast.
 
OUCH! That's a lot of teeth. Currently, I'm missing 1.5. Becoming well seasoned ain't for sissies.
They died one by one over about a 5 year period and would break off at the gum line. Runs in the family. My dad had all but two of his teeth cut out before he was 50.

I had the best ham and cheese sandwich I've had all year tonight. Slabs of spiral cut smoked ham with New York sharp cheddar cheese melted on lightly buttered toasted white bread and a hint of Miracle Whip.

Truth be told it was the only ham and cheese sandwich I've had this year. But with about 2 pounds left it probably won't be the last one. 😉
 
Ham and macoroni and cheese, leftover style.

Mrs Fixer had put together a mac n cheese dish for turkey day that didn't get cooked.
I chopped up about 6oz of ham and mixed it in. Added some more shredded cheddar to the top, baked at 350f for 30 minutes.... yum yum. And there's only about 1.5 pounds of ham left.
