For this challenge, I’ve eliminated some from the original list of 36 in the 2014 blogpost (nasc thíos), if they just have the word “turcaí” and some other culinary term in Italian or some other language (like “lasagna turcaí” or “turcaí tetrazzini“).  For the remaining 25, listed below, can you fill in the blank letters and translate them?  Seems like a good and fun classroom exercise to me!   Note also that most of these are given in the plural, where applicable, since in theory millions of people eat turkey leftovers in many different ways after Thanksgiving.  Although Lá an Altaithe in November is an American holiday, we could compare these recipe ideas with post-Christmas ideas for leftover turkey in Ireland.  At any rate, it’s all good language practice.
