Turkey sandwiches, turkey soup, turkey pot pie, turkey and waffles, refried turkey, turkey a la king, turkey stir fry, turkey, turkey, turkey. All these leftovers are a lot to swallow, aren’t they?
Janet over at Dying for Chocolate has some great recipes that will allow us to use those pesky leftovers in new, inventive ways through the assistance of our old friend chocolate. The one the really grabbed my eye was a chocolate mashed potato cake. Check it out:
1 1/2 cup self rising flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 oz. organic fair-trade dark chocolate, melted
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup cooked mashed potatoes (make sure they weren’t seasoned)Cream butter and sugar with potatoes. Then add melted chocolate or cocoa. Add beaten eggs alternately with flour and salt. Pour in milk and mix well. Grease 9 inch square pan. Pour mixture into pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Top will be firm and spring to the touch when cooked. Let cake cool and turn onto wire rack. Frost with a good chocolate ganache when completely cooled.
A “good” chocolate ganache? Is there another type? Thanks, Janet – you are a lifesaver!
