We got the leftover turkey out of the freezer and then I made last minute arrangements to cover someone's shift tonight.
I whipped out the crock pot and threw in:
(this could be nasty)
- one cup rice, unprepared, which I then steamed and ended up using about 1.5 cups prepared rice
- one can Campbell's cream of chicken soup
- one can broccoli cheese soup
- 1.5 cans unsweetened soy milk (then it ran out)
- 1/2 can vanilla almond milk
- shredded turkey
- 1/2 cup pickled mixed vegetables
- frozen white beans
- turkey
- 1 can green chiles
- 1 can petit diced tomatoes
- about 1/4 teaspoon country herb blend
- about 1/2 teaspoon each of chili powder, cumin and black pepper
Okay... One hour later. I cook by smell, I can't eat something if it smells bad. And this smells putrid.
I upped the chili powder, added a pinch of Indian chili powder, garlic powder, minced garlic and paprika. I tasted a piece of the turkey and it was edible- just smelled gross.
After the seasoning melded in the crock pot for a couple hours, my mother-in-law and other family members commented that it smelled delicious. My husband went shopping, and the soup evaporated into a pâté, or so he described it.
He filled tortillas with turkey and the leftover soup and they were FABULOUS!
I glad this turned out well but I think it was the metamorphic transition from soup to tortilla filling. All the ingredients sounded OK until you got to the ’pickled veggies” . Soups and stews are my forte’ and I can’t think of one where I would add that or vinegar anything. Some curries on the other hand push close to putrid: Also true Hungarian Goulash is damn near rancid but tastes wonderful but those are culture things.
