Slow Cooked Turkey Sandwich

Hiya lecteurs du blog de ??tous les coins!

Yeah trying out a new french translation app on my droid. I think I'm going to keep it American for a long while, haha. Hiya blog readers from all around! It's Tuesday and it's time for us to spread a little food love. On the table this week is a recipe I chose. It comes to us from a book Ma purchased at the local book sale we went to 2 weeks ago. I'd tell you the name but Ma borrowed the book to one of her coworkers and the name escapes me this second. Now, no worries I've got it covered. ;].
I was looking for a good sandwich. Something we've never put in our tummy's before. That's when this popped up on the page and I couldn't resist.

Slow Cooked Turkey Sandwich
22 servings (Now you're probably wondering about the number of servings...yeah we were puzzled as well so who knows?)

6 cups cubed cooked turkey
2 cups cubed processed cheese (Velveeta)
1 can 10 3/4 ounce cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
1 can 10 3/4 ounce cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)
Half cup finely chopped onions
Half cup chopped celery
22 wheat sandwich buns (PLEASE, only make however many sandwiches you need. Don't make the 22, well unless you're planning on feeding your neighborhood. If you are then by all means go for it lol)

In a 3 quart slow cooker combine the first 6 ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or until onion & celery are tender and cheese is melted. Stir and spoon onto buns.




Okie, this one was not a winner. Aw, it happens guys and so far we were on a roll with the recipes but this one...wasn't good. Let's dish about this mistake. While yes, the first taste of it was good and it wasn't hard to swallow the after affects for everyone weren't the greatest. Each person experienced grumbles of the unpleasant kind., gas, and simple upset stomachs. We're not sure if it was the processed cheese or the mixture was simply too heavy but I'm not endorsing this recipe. I have to place the annoying food seal on it and send it back to whatever book it came from. Good thing I didn't remember the name, eh?


Tid Bits: Let's be real, nothing would fix this. Actually here's a tid bit make something else. Save your tummy from a night of shots with the Pepto Bismol.

Ma's tid bit: We used chicken instead of turkey because during the summer months turkey is very high priced and not everyone is Donald Trump rich...sadly. lol


Mas Spot: I went into this dinner hesitating because if you know me I am not a fan of cheese. To me processed cheese (such as Velveeta) is the worst of them all. Is it even really cheese? The blog is about being adventurous and trying new things so when Dinah Jane picked it I was up for it but I went for it anyhow. It turned out when I first tasted the dinner, it was pretty good. So we have it with some nice oven fries and it was tasty while enjoying it for dinner. You couldn't taste the cheese as much as the soups but as I learned later on it settled like a ton of bricks. It filled me with hot air and I was burping constantly all evening. Not a fun way to spend a night but to each their own. Unlike Dinah said above everyone is different and what happened with us tonight and this meal may not happen with you guys so try it out and see what happens. Inquiring minds wanna know. As in life nothing is guaranteed, you win some you loose some. I'm afraid my faithful bloggers this was a loose some.


Alrighty guys, our tummy's aren't feeling the best so it's time to go rest. Never fret though, we'll be here 7 days from now with another recipe and thankfully next week is ma's pick and nowhere in the recipe does it contain processed cheese. The food Gods rejoice! haha
Have a great week guys!
