Cliff's Turkey Hash

 


 

The day after Thanksgiving is the designated turkey hash day. I can't remember a time when my father was alive that he didn't make this dish the day after Thanksgiving. Even though I'm inconsistent, it’s a family tradition. This recipe is from memory, so the measurements aren't precise, but it's worth making more than once, and making your own.


 

ingredients

Leftover turkey (from a 10- to 12-pound turkey)

1 can of peas

2 medium russet potatoes

1/2 cup chopped celery

1 chopped white onion

pan drippings from turkey (at least 2 tablespoons)

3 cups of chicken broth

pepper, Lawry's seasoned salt, garlic powder

1/2 stick of unsalted butter

Instructions

Dice potatoes.

In a large frying pan add butter and celery and all seasonings.

Cook down until onions are clear.

Add potatoes, turkey, pan dripping and broth.

Cook until the potatoes are soft, and the broth thickens.

Serve and enjoy.
