2 cup turkey, cooked, chopped
10 oz peas
4 oz cheese, cheddar, shredded
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup onions, chopped
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper, black
1 cup mayonnaise
1 can crescent dinner rolls
2 tsp seeds, sesame
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Combine first 8 ingredients; mix well. Spoon
into a 12"x8"x2" baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick
coating. Separate crescent dough into rectangles; press perforations
to seal. Cut into 4 long strips and 4 short strips. Arrange strips in
lattice design across top of your casserole. Sprinkle with sesame
seeds. Bake 35 minutes. Garnish with radish slices and fresh parsley
sprigs, if desired.
Sylvia's comments: This was a big hit at our house -- only a little
strip was left along one edge of the casserole! I used nonfat
mayonnaise, and bet that nonfat yogurt would work just as well to cut
down on fat. I was out of peas, so used corn. And I used leftover
chicken instead of turkey. Save this one for a neat way to use up
your leftover Thanksgiving turkey.

The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these early records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the early Romans used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an outbreak in publications on food, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
