Recipes:

TURKEY SOUP
I'm guessing on this. The s.o. made this soup while I was in town, and he won't tell me exactly what went into it. But as best I can determine...
1 or 2 Tbs. olive oil
1 onion
a few cloves garlic
1/2 a green bell pepper, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
a couple stalks of celery, chopped
1/2 lb. leftover dark-meat turkey, shredded into bite-size pieces
1 handful of frozen corn
1 can of cut green beans, drained
several c. water
almost certainly some Worcestershire sauce
herbs he won't reveal

CORNBREAD
He also made this while I was away, but I know he was using the Pillsbury Complete Book of Baking. :-)
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. yellow cornmeal
2 Tbs. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1 egg, slightly beaten

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Grease a seasoned 8-inch cast-iron skillet (this is what he did; in retrospect, he says he wishes he had used our 10-inch skillet, because he likes his cornbread thinner).
In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Stir in remaining ingredients until smooth.
Pour batter into greased skillet. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
