Post thanksgiving leftovers. While I do enjoy the traditional Turkey sammich afterwards or a simple turkey Cheddar biscuit I love turkey flautas. They are not hard to make and you boys have always loved them. One of the first years mom and I were married we went downstate and make thanksgiving at Papa's house. The next day I made these and he loved them Your Nana not so much but so what? You boys loved them... My mother taught me how to make them. I wish there were more things that I can give you from your grandmother , but I guess that recipes of her great food are the best things I can give you. The smells and tastes of great foods can keep memories forever.
... Here y a go ...

Cooked turkey
corn tortillas one or two packages

make them before you start frying or have some one else making while you fry them.
in a large pan heat corn oil
now fry till crispy shell - golden brown
the oil does not need to cover - just enough to roll them in
only fry up to 3 three at a time so the oil does not cool to fast and make the tortilla gummy
drain on a plate w/ paper napkins
serve w/ salsa
guac
sour cream and a dash of salt
cut limes
refried beans or anyting else you want to put with this
and beers
