Prompted by the wild success of our first annual Mamamia DIY Christmas Gift Guide where we pooled our collective brain cells to solve every possible gift-giving dilemma (hours of consumer inspiration reading the comments on that post, I’m telling you), Mamamia’s wise and kind moderating goddess Amanda Bugmum suggested this:
how about we share what we’ll be cooking (or eating – I’m better at the latter) on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve or whenever you have your Big Fat Meal.
Or maybe you don’t. Maybe for you, Christmas will be about a bowl of cereal or a mango at the beach. Whatever you’re going to eat, I want to hear about it.
Also, if you have a recipe you’d like to share, need a recipe for something or some piece of cooking advice, just leave it as a comment and other MM commenters will step in a solve your Christmas catering problems.
Oh look. I’m an infomercial.
At my place, I’m not quite sure what we’ll be having because my son and one of our (grown-up) friends are in charge of the catering. I do know that we’ve ordered an 8kg organic turkey. For 7 people. So I’m going to ask the first question: anyone got any good recipes for leftover turkey?

ok so I'm a little behind in my blog reading : )
We had:
Christmas eve: turkey, roast lamb, cold ham, roast potatoes and pumpkin, boiled carrots, steamed brocolli, peas, gravy. I made up my own stuffing of breadcrumbs, bacon, shallots, macadamias, cranberry sauce and all purpose seasoning. Mmmmm.
Trifle for dessert.
Christmas lunch: turkey, lamb, ham, potato salad, salad, stuffing, gravy, champignons and leftover vegies from the night before as there wasn't quite enough salad. Dessert was steamed pudding and ice cream.
Since then it has been leftovers and chocolates : )
You can buy icecream pudding in Coles now!
