Turkey Tetrazzini
This is a great recipe for leftover turkey. Even those who say they don't like turkey will eat this. May be assembled in advance and frozen: heat covered dish at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 1/2 hours.
Hangtown Fry with Parmesan and Fresh Herbs
My recipe variation on Hangtown Fry contains Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. It is finished under the broiler, where the egg-oyster mixture puffs up like a cross between a frittata and a soufflé. I get the best results using a cast-iron skillet. It's important that the oven be hot before you place the skillet under the broiler.
Chef John's Quick Cassoulet
This hearty cassoulet recipe has some short cuts to make a quick version of the French classic. Chicken thighs replace the time-consuming, duck confit; canned white beans replace dried; and bacon serves as a convenient substitute for other, more involved smoked pork options.
