Thanksgiving has come and gone, so has the regular football season.
By the time last Saturday rolled around, (Florida- F.S.U.) we were tired of Turkey and decided we wanted Steak & Fries.
It was GOOD, and a nice break of the Thanksgiving routine.
But we wanted to do something with our left over Turkey and Ham, so we rustled up some Ham Salad and the BEST Cream of Turkey Soup I have eaten.
It's "Two For The Price of ONE" on Kill it, Cut it up, and Cook it....
So let's get to it.
But first, another look at the exciting life of President Cleveland.
So let's take a look at what we need for the HAM SALAD !!!!
Left over HAM
Since we cooked for 8 on Thanksgiving, Penny got a nice ham from Honey Baked. We had plenty left over
Colby Cheese
Sweet Gherkins Pickles
Mayo
Pimentos (nice and Chopped)
Grate the Ham, Cheese and Pickles in
Food Processor
Put into a bowl
Put Pimentos in food processor and CHOP
Add the chopped Pimentos to the bowl and stir
ADD
½ Cup Mayo then stir well
½ Cup Mayo then stir again
¼ Cup Pickle Juice

How easy can that be ???
I like Lettuce on my Ham Samwitch.
