Jean’s Turkey Crepes — Gobble Gobble!
Every day mid-afternoon, with a cup of hot coffee in hand, I’d hear my mom ask, “What should I make for supper?” But the truth was, she already had a grand plan in place…
As early as I can remember our mother was in the kitchen dreaming up new ideas for supper. In the 50’s, she wore a home-made apron around her waist. But as the family grew, the apron was wisely replaced with a simple dish towel. Thrown over her left shoulder while cooking, our mother wiped her hands just as effortlessly as one of our faces smeared with peanut butter and jelly (there were five daughters!).
As busy as she was, there was never a meal we didn’t enjoy around the dining room table. We hope this comfort dish brings you and your family just as much comfort (and good memories) as it brings ours!
