Oh, well maybe I will wait, for what…I dunno. I was in Costco yesterday eyeing candidates for the NY roast. A beautiful loin roast which would be adequate was $178. An even more beautiful prime, $238. I was thinking of spending my dividend on a roast. 'Prolly not :persevere:

Faux Peking duck rolls are one of my favorite uses of leftover turkey or chicken.

Flour tortillas work just fine!

I like adding some broccoli slaw for crunch and veggie quotient.

Alternatively, Kenji has a solid recipe for making the pancakes. A rather fun process if one is looking for a small project (no more complicated that tortillas). Link is a gift link.

Good easy meal not overloading the leftovers but still managing to incorporate some to lighten the fridge load.

Hope you all had cozy celebrations! I know they were tasty. :grinning:

I made a spiral ham sammy on a sweet yeasted dinner roll with mayo. Simple and delish.
