Well the 2 turkeys that we took to my daughters house were left there along with the pan. Pan was returned clean ! No left overs ! But, I was given a bag of very good turkey meat from my daughter-in-law. So have been enjoying that, along with other leftovers. I can live on leftovers, so I never mind !

Here we were fortunate to have a great deep-fried turkey and ham along with plenty of trimmings. After my fourth meal (fifth if you include a sandwich meal) it pretty much got cleaned out today after we invited friends over for lunch. Did freeze turkey legs and a little extra meat for a later dish of turkey dumplings.

Made up 9 pies last night myself. Left overs from a trash can turkey.

Yesterday evening, I had a big thick turkey sandwich which finished the turkey, we each had a piece of pumpkin pie which finished the desserts, then my wife chopped up the last of the ham, and I just now put that, a package of chopped onion, salt & pepper in the crock pot with a pound of cranberry beans that had been soaking overnight. Of course, I'll make cornbread to go with it later today.

So that's the end of the Thanksgiving food.

Never heard of Cranberry beans before, but then there's a lot of things I'm not familiar with. If you like beans, you might try the Anasazi beans. We've never used any other kind since we discovered them. Not available everywhere, but becoming more popular. We used to have to buy them at these snobby specialty foods places, but local grocery store has them and they are available on line.

Why are they so good? They result in practically no gas production (worth the money just for this reason), they cook up twice as fast and they don't hurt my stomach. No, I don't have an interest in the company, but I do like the beans.

Never heard of Cranberry beans before

I can sure understand that. Shortly after I married a West Virginia gal over 50 years ago, she told me she and her family preferred "October beans" over pinto beans, and I'd never heard of "October beans" and never saw any in our grocery stores. It's only been in the last 10 or 15 years that I learned "October beans" are better known as "Cranberry beans". Where they came up with that name, I'll probably never know, since they have nothing to do with cranberries. But in recent years, the Kroger's grocery stores have the one pound packages of Cranberry beans; only place I know of to get them.

The Cranberry beans are very much like Pinto beans; and only slightly more expensive. They are also supposedly slightly sweeter than Pintos. Personally, I wouldn't bet that most folks would know the difference.
