 Hey y'all, it's Tani with Collard Valley Cooks. Tonight I am doing something pretty simple. We bought a turkey and when I opened it up this morning to put it in the oven, I realized that it's already cooked and smoked. So today what I'm doing, let me show y'all this, is I'm into another fridge water because we have to go down to St. Mary's tomorrow. Something's come up. So this is open and it's whistling. This is our new cookware. Once it starts to whistle, you close it, but I'm going to show you what I've got in there. Broccoli with just a little bit of water, okay, so we're just going to hit the close button and then you turn it down on a low temperature and when you do that, it pretty much kind of steams it, okay. I'm doing the same thing in here, except I have sweet potatoes, so I'm trying to use my fresh produce before we leave. I put a little butter in there and a little brown sugar in there and they are just cooking and I've had a lid on them so that they get soft. Let me see how soft they are. So when you cook with this type of cookware and you close the steam button like I did on the broccoli just now, it cooks a lot faster, okay. And you don't have to use a lot of water in your vegetables, which means they're healthier. Of course, this is not, you know, that healthy consider and I've got brown sugar and butter in it, but we're going to enjoy it regardless. Alright, so we're going to close that back up and then I've decided to throw in what little cabbage I had left with some green onions just because they were fresh. It was fresh. It was in the refrigerator and I needed to do something with it. So those are my veggies for tonight. The only thing I got left to do for this cabbage is let it cook just a little bit more. I need to salt and pepper it. Now some people are talking about inheriting like this stuff from their mother. Yeah. But now this actually, these are not salad master. We have some salad master. This is like a... This is a brand on Amazon that I recommend that is identical to salad master, except for the way the lids made and I actually like the lids on these very much. That is exactly the same. But it's the same. I mean, it's made the same. It's got the same stamp on the bottom of it. It's wonderful. And you can get a whole set for like $280 or $90. Hopefully it lasts long. If you're interested in that, I'll go on my website, click on Cookware and take a look at it. It is so worth the money. Now we're going to get over here. We're going to open this turkey. And the only reason I bought that cookware is because everybody that watches me loves my cookware and they can't afford salad master. So I bought that set with our money that we make on Car Valley Cooks just to make sure that if I referenced it to you guys that it was, you know, it was worth it. And boy is it worth it. It's really good. So this is a turkey that I bought at the grocery store when they were out of everything else. They didn't have any meat. And so me and Chris, I was like, look at a turkey. So apparently I just grabbed one. We thought we were being really smart. Yeah. And I had no idea this was a pre-cooked turkey. But it is. It's already smoked and cooked. And so now I'm just opening it up and I'm going to carve some meat off of it for supper. And then I'm going to make a little bit of gravy to go over it right quick. And we're going to eat. We've never had one of these before. No, I've never bought one like this before. But you know what? It may be really good. This is a honeysuckle white. And I'm just going to layer right here on my cutting board that I got for my sink cutting board. And if you don't have a sink cutting board, they're really convenient too for meats. I use it for my meats. It has drain lines and it has these that adjust. You can make them come out a little longer, you know, if your sink's bigger. But let me get rid of this right quick just because I want to. Now this is already cooked so it's not the juices and stuff are not, you know, terribly bad or nothing. You're going to have to get out of my way, sweetie. Go into the trash can. Okay. And now, wash my hands. We're going to start carving up a little bit of this turkey. Somebody said they had one at Thanksgiving. It was good. Oh really? Okay. Well, let's see what it looks like, y'all. Yeah, we have to reheat it. I'm going to heat it in a skillet. It's cooked. I mean, it says to cook it in the oven, but you don't have to. It's already cooked. You can slice it up for sandwiches. I'm going to slice it up and put it in a skillet and warm it. I don't like to warm meat in the microwave because it makes it tough. Okay. But these turkey legs, I could actually save them and put them in some beans. They'd be real good. So I'll probably freeze part of this since we've got to leave and go out of town tomorrow. I'll probably freeze some of my turkey legs and like the wings at least. And that way we will have it to make meat with when we come back home. I'll pull it off the skin. So right now I'm just carving up a couple of slices for supper. And you get a lot of meat on a turkey. That's a good thing about buying it. Like with things going on the way they are now, you get a whole lot of meat. You can freeze it. Yeah, you can. Since there was no meat at the grocery store, you don't have to even heat it up. You can slice it for sandwiches. But since there was no meat at the grocery store, I thought, I'm going to the freezer section. And I got me some turkey and I got me some frozen chicken breasts and tenders. One of the viewers said that they always heated theirs, the leftover turkey on a stove top and butter. Yeah, I was going to do something like that. That's what I was going to do tonight. And then I'll use the juices to make some gravy. That's probably enough for us. And I'll freeze what we don't need. Normally, we would be here and I could, you know, we could eat on this. But since it's smoked, you know, I don't think I would. I have done chicken and pot pie with smoked turkey before. And it was pretty good. Chris really liked it. It's kind of a manly thing. This juice that came off this turkey when I had it sitting, I'm going to use it in my gravy. Because it's already been cooked. Okay, so I'm going to scoop, think what I'll do. Because I know those sweet potatoes are done. These things are cooked just a little bit more. I'll put these back here on low. Weren't you lighting? Because it wants me to blow on it. And now we're just going to heat up our turkey. And then once we heat it up, I'll make a bit of gravy go over it. We're having a simple supper. Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, I wanted to put a little bit of butter on these. And I got a little butter right here. Oh, on the rolls? Yeah. I had some frozen rolls that I had left over from Thanksgiving, believe it or not. And so we're making those tonight. And the girls can eat a turkey roll if they want to. So I'll go ahead and start this. We can't ever remember how to start this one. It's a little more complicated. We use it. We don't use it as much as a air fryer. And then it wants to preheat. And then once it's preheated, you have to hit the start button to set the timer. So I just click start and let it start cooking. I've never been one for preheating that much. I'm all wet neither. If you just throw stuff in the oven and turn it on. And that's pretty much how I do. Unless it's a cake. If it's a cake, I preheat it. But that's about the only thing I preheat my oven for. I don't preheat it for brownies. Somebody's asking about that. So she's still waiting on the cherry pie with a cherry pie filling? I have got that. It was just so simple because I used a refrigerated pie crust and a can of filling. Did we make it then? Yes, I made it. And I've got pictures and everything. I just haven't posted it because I thought people would make fun of it. Because I was tired and I was sick that day and I wanted something for dessert. So I made a real easy dessert. But I'll put it on there if y'all want me to. So see, we did do it. I thought we did one when I saw somebody else going to do it. See how organized I am. I'm not with my pots and pans. I don't think they're too good. It's actually, we'll put a little of this in there. This is our one copper pan that has survived. Yeah. The rest of them didn't last too long. You got to be, you got to treat me. I'm going to take some of this skin and put it here just for the, yeah, and the flavor. So let's slice it a little bit. Real thin. Before I do. Oh, you're over there? Yeah, because I don't want to mess up my pretty cutting boards over there with meat. And I'm just doing this so that the gravy will taste good, y'all. And I'm not going to let, I don't know that I'll leave it in right here. But I just thought that might make it taste better. You know? So when you go to the grocery store, if they're out of meat during this time, check out the freezer section. You might have to get a turkey to cook, which is what I thought I was going to get. And if I had cooked the turkey, let me tell you what I was going to do in case you want to go get one. Let me rinse off my hands first. I was going to cut it in half with my knife. And I really wasn't going to do this. I was going to cut the turkey in half. Let me trace down. And I was going to take half of it and boil it like I boiled my chickens. And that way I'd have stock and I'd have chicken for chicken pot pie and chicken noodle soup, chicken and dumplings. That kind of thing. Of course, I was going to use turkey. And then the other half, I was going to roast. And then we were going to eat it like we're eating this tonight or have sandwiches. And that's how I was going to do the turkey. Okay? If you've got a smoker and you've got pellets or whatever it is you use in your smoker, this is a good time to smoke something. And like now I've got nice turkey wings to use in my dried beans when I cook them. And et cetera, et cetera. Let's see how these look. Woo! Let me turn them off. This is our sweet potatoes. And they're going to be so good. Oh, y'all need to be able to smell that. I see that. It smells good, good, good. It's just time for me to check it too. It'll be delicious. Alright, so those have been turned off. And this back here is our little bit of broccoli. Let's see how it looks. And it actually forms a suction. Like I couldn't pick that up. That's ready. Needed salt and pepper there. Smells good too. And I'm sure since this turkey was pre-cooked it's probably got plenty of... I want to put a little bit of salt in this because it's sweet and it makes it taste even better. And then this turkey should already be salty since it was pre-cooked. But I am going to put a little bit of pepper on my broccoli because I like it. So light miserable dash on it. Did we cut this off? The broccoli? They need... But everything needs to be cut off really. It's time to eat. And I guess those rolls are getting brown. I should have used the air fryer and then it would only take it on the minute. But I still got to make a little bit of gravy, so... Sweet potatoes are good to buy too. They last a long time, don't they? I mean, they last about as long as the potato does. I thought they last a long time. No. That's why I'm cooking them. Because by the time we get back they wouldn't have been good anymore. You know? So let's get our stuff ready to make our gravy. To serve over our turkey. We don't need a whole lot. I'm just making gravy for the turkey. And it's not going to make a whole bunch. So that's how much juice I got out of the bottom of the turkey package. And it's not blood, y'all, because it's pre-cooked, okay? So we're going to use that and make a little bit of pan gravy with it. It's going to be good. And really and truly, when you're doing a gravy like this, for one I'm going to taste this. Oh my gosh, it's salty, salty. Okay. So we're going to put a little bit of cornstarch in it. Because I don't really want to put milk in this type of gravy. And my whisk from that side. You want a gravy whisk? Yeah, that's fine. Just something. Something, honey. And we're not going on vacation. No, we're not. We have a house that we bought at St. Mary's that we want to move to when Amy graduates. And so we have to sell this house. But we need to go down there and mow the grass. And we have some appointments down there. We had made a doctor's appointment. And because we didn't want to, we wanted to get a doctor down there. They haven't had their first case yet. And they haven't canceled appointments. And it's an appointment that we really need to be at. So it's a medical thing, not a fun, you know, just for fun. Of course we'll have fun when we go, maybe. But I don't really want to stop on the way to go to the bathroom and stuff very much. There'll be a lot of people coming back from Florida. Yeah, I'm actually going to take some gloves and put them in the car and make the girls wear disposable gloves when they get in and out of the convenience stores to go to the bathroom. We only have to usually stop like once. Yeah, we normally just have to stop once. And we can take some snacks in the car. So we should be fine. All right, here, baby, get this. So we're going to get this good stuff off the bottom with this. I'm going to put just a little bit of water in it because it is really salty. That's turkey for the people that came on here late. Yeah, that's a smoked turkey. We got out of the freezer section at the grocery store. And to my surprise, I got it out to cook it this morning and it was a pre-cooked turkey. So I got to not worry about it today. I've just been making videos for y'all today. It's just been nice editing. So I'm leaving that skin in there just to, you know, flavor the sauce. Of course, this is going to be really good because I used the juice out of the package. So if you get to a turkey like we did, remember you can do that too. Put it over the top of something when you get it out. Let's put a little salt and pepper on it. We are moving there because we like it. We like to fish. I don't have to put salt in it because it's already so salty. Does that look good? That's really good. There's us some turkey gravy. Now we are going to go over here and check out our rolls. And if they're warming up. Here's our tomatoes. Those are the ones we still got surviving. From that tomato, we all got the seeds from and we did a little video on that. All right, let's eat. Using what I had in the refrigerator, just no rhyme or reason. Just pulled out what I had since we're leaving. I didn't want to waste anything. It was fresh. And so I used what cabbage I had left. I'm just going to see how this goes. I used what cabbage I had left. I used what broccoli. I actually saved this little bit of broccoli because I was going to make like a broccoli and cabbage slaw. And instead I decided to stew the cabbage and eat the broccoli. Cut up a sweet potato because I knew it wouldn't be good when we got back. So that's our supper in this turkey. So let's get it down. Let's make a plate. Yeah, we didn't know they had pre-cooked turkeys. Did you know they had pre-cooked turkeys? No, I didn't know. We really, honestly, we're just going to get a turkey and cook it like she said. Yeah, we'll still be doing these videos when we move. We've kind of outfitted our kitchen down there. Of course, we don't have all the stuff that we got here, but we've actually done some videos from down there. I've got five more that you all haven't seen that I've still got to edit where I've been cooking all week this week. So, you know, we got plenty of footage for y'all. And I've been running reruns because a lot of you, I've never seen a lot of my videos. So I put on a new one and then I put it on a couple of old ones. A lot of people are like, did you cut your hair? Let's put the prettiest piece on here. Why don't we? They're like, did you cut your hair? And I'm like, no, that's just an old video. So I do that because there's so many new viewers. It's crazy for me not to let them see, you know, more than one thing. Do you remember how much that turkey was a pound? It's cheap, wasn't it? I don't remember. I can pick up the package and look. That's okay. Y'all can just check it out. A lot of people are interested in the turkey. Oh, yeah. Thanks to Colored Valley Cooks, everybody will go buy all the turkeys. Look how good that looks. And then we're going to put a little gravy on our turkey, put a roll on the plate. Is that a supper or what? A supper with the junk that I had left in the fridge. Like Thanksgiving. As far as these two go, but these were frozen since Thanksgiving because somebody made rolls and I made homemade rolls. Of course, that had to be cooked. And then our new turkey. This is going to be delicious, I can tell you right now. And I'm going to grab my other camera and take a picture. Yeah, she likes to take pictures. So we have something to put on there. Yeah, I'm going to take a picture right quick for YouTube. And then I will... You know, a lot of times you have in your freezer, y'all have at home in your freezer like ham, like a whole ham or a pork butt. You know how you buy stuff and it comes in big quantities. When you're trying to save money you get a good price on it. So I guess this is time to be making stuff like that. And it's also a time to like my green onions that I had left I was either going to slice them up put them in a freezer bag put them in the freezer and I thought, no, I'll just throw them in this cabbage. Don't waste anything right now. Don't waste anything. Save your potato skins. Put them in your air fryer. Put them in the oven on a baking sheet. Save your miscellaneous stuff and make soup out of it. You know, right now we need to be very aware of the situation we're in. We don't know how long it's going to take. I'm trying not to say the name of it because they will take this video off the air. So you don't have to, you know, use the word when you comment. I'm just saying that you don't know what's really going to happen. So let's not waste stuff. Like last night I made those potato chips y'all see the video in a couple of days and I cut one of these and it made so many potato chips. I couldn't believe it. Somebody asked if we think a year old frozen ham is still good. Heck yeah it is. Ain't nothing wrong with it. Unless you wrapped it up in saran wrap. No, I'm serious. There's nothing wrong with it. Get it out and eat it. That's what they make it for. I still got vegetables from the last summer. They're fine. I need to make some tea. I guess I want since we're leaving. I made a cake this week because it was Amy's best friend's birthday and it was just a cake mix with vanilla icing the buttercream icing that I made I asked one vanilla vanilla and then this dark icing you see on this I asked the other one I put Nutella in the icing so it was like Nutella icing on the cake. It was really good. Let's take a bite. I didn't video that for y'all. That was delicious. Y'all that was so good. What brand was it? I don't know. If you can get one pre-cooked it only costs 30 or 40 cents more a pound and you can afford it get it because the smoky flavor is perfect. It's not overpowering. It's got plenty of salt in it. So it's already pre-made. I mean most of the time when you make a turkey at home it's hard to get salt to go all the way in the turkey which we done the last time we made a turkey you can turn that off. Just hit that last button and press it. There you go. I think I turned it back on. Well then press it again. I mean you need to turn it off. There's an off button in the middle or somewhere. I don't know. Let's taste the sweet taters. Y'all that cookware is amazing. You just close it with that little bit of water in it and these have got a sticky glaze that's actually crunchy on the outside. Y'all see it? And they're so good and done. That's dessert right there. Dessert. We bought a cooked turkey it was at Engels but it was in the frozen section. Let me say this. All I put in that cabbage seriously I didn't put any water or nothing in it. I put a little bit of butter in that onion and it is absolutely delicious. You do not have to load up vegetables with bacon grease and bacon and all these other things to make it taste good. If you like vegetables you would just be like oh my gosh that's good. It is so good. It only takes the best ingredient for food period of salt and pepper and butter. If you got good food if you have to cover it up it's not gonna be good. Everything on a plate is just perfect. So I hope y'all have enjoyed watching this live. We don't go live on Facebook much for one they won't monetize it for us. I'm far and no they reduce the quality of the video. Let me see if I can figure this thing out. No? I can't. This cookware this cookware is called Maxim it's the same as Saladmaster but there's all kinds of brands. It's waterless cookware any brand that's waterless cookware will do the same thing. So I'll show it to him one more time and he gonna want to eat while it's warm. Yep, I'm hungry. Y'all it's delicious. Absolutely. I was actually talking my mouth open I know it's not very late a lot wait a minute. I actually went to bed about 4.15 and I thought I'm gonna lay down and relax because I have an infection and I thought I'm gonna lay down and relax and I thought I really need to get up and cook what am I gonna make because I didn't want to make what was on my this is the first time I haven't made what's on the menu and and then I got to thinking I'll just make what I got. You don't have to have I mean if you just get up I know a lot of us need to be pushed to get up out of bed and get started and so I decided I'd get up and get started and look at that and you can do it too. I know this time is hard for everybody I know it's hard to get motivated but we need to be healthy and eat so these days our families are gonna remember everything about them and if you give them some good food they'll never forget it Y'all have a great day and thanks for watching Colored Valley Cooks where we cook like mama did.
