It is December 1st which means we have had more than a few days’ worths of Turkey Leftovers. Instead of doing the same old same old let’s visit 1959 and go for the Turkey Macaroni Loaf. It has almost everything that a Mid Century food would be known for- except the Gelatin.

If you need to pick up a loaf pan my two personal favorites are the Le Creuset Stoneware Heritage Loaf Pan, 9″ x 5″ x 3″ (1.5 qt.), Caribbean, or the Rachael Ray Yum-o! Bakeware Oven Lovin’ Nonstick Loaf Pan, 9-Inch by 5-Inch Steel Pan, Gray with Orange Handles
