Last night, I made a kind of soup or ragout with ground turkey, mushroom, onion, carrot, celery and mushroom-chicken broth. It was quick, fresh and easy to make, and there was a little left, which I froze.
This morning, looking at the choices -- bacon and eggs, oatmeal, Malt-O-Meal, toast -- I was unimpressed. All good, but all the same old stuff.
I had three mushrooms left over, and a little celery and....h'mm, a can of crushed tomatoes. So I fried up a strip of bacon and drained off most of the fat, diced and cooked the mushrooms in the same pan along with a little celery, and defrosted the leftovers in the microwave.
The broth had been okay at best. I poured it off, then added the turkey and vegetables to the skillet with the can of crushed tomatoes and "Italian blend" seasoning, crumbling in the bacon. Once it was bubbling, I broke a couple of eggs into it and let it simmer, covered. (I have clear "universal" pan lids in a couple of sizes, very useful for this kind of thing.)
A dozen minutes later, it was done. A "fancy" breakfast from this and that.
