I don’t know what it is about the word “scallion” that bothers me. Maybe it’s because we always called them “green onions” my whole life. It just seems too stuffy of a name. : )
I’ve already got my menu made out for the next couple of weeks, making sure to use those leftovers while they’re at their prime.
And while I love how great my Roasted Turkey turns out every time, cooked poultry, no matter how good the first time, isn’t going to taste better months down the road buried in the freezer. So I try to plan out how to use the leftovers before they get buried in the freezer for evermore. What I’m not going to use within a couple of days I do freeze, but I try to use pretty quickly.
We loved this sandwich, it doesn’t feel like leftovers at all! I love green onions and they add a great twist on a club sandwich.
