A

s fast as Thanksgiving barrels toward us, it's over.
The question most often raised is what to do with
all that turkey? Here, some slow-cooker ideas that
won't keep you tied up in the kitchen.
On this week's menu are a few thought-starters. If slow
cooking isn't your thing, make a salad: diced turkey, a little
mayo, a little Dijon mustard, halved grapes, lightly toasted
walnuts and some fresh chopped parsley. Add some salt and
pepper to taste, and toss well.
