ok so here we are day 5, I went to my recipe book and using some left over turkey i mixed with chopped celery and put this in a bowl, next I pulled out some mayo, , salt, pepper, and the recipe called for onion salt and poultry seasoning. I went to my pantry and OH CRAP no onion salt, and no poultry seasoning......okay dont panic, time to improvise! I took onion powder and celery salt and mixed them together to make my onion salt, and it tasted pretty good. Now comes the fun part, I went online and found the instructions for poultry seasoning, which called for Sage, Thyme, Pepper, Marjoram, and a "dash" of cloves. For those of you out there like me who have no idea what the hell a dash is in cooking, according to the internet is a 1/2 teaspoon. So I mixed everything together and grinded it up, but I added just a little too much clove. After making my poultry seasoning and onion salt i mixed it into the mayo with some salt and pepper then poured it on top of the turkey and the celery. Now according to the recipe I was done,wiith the exception of chilling it for 4 hours, but I just looked at my odd concoction and just thought there is no way that is done so i tasted it. It tasted good but like it was missing something, so I chopped up apples and sprinkled in some cinammon which helped but it was still too bulky. So after a quck toss in the food processor my turkey salad finally looked like a turkey salad! After adding just a touch of honey and my turkey salad was ready for the fridge. Now tasting my creation before I refrigerated it tasted pretty good, but after being in the fridge for 4 hours it tasted amazing!
well that is all for this entry as usual if you have any comments, suggestions I appreciate them all!!
"...OH CRAP no onion salt..." - lmao. love it.
