Anything AND everything!

That isn't known as 'Head Cheese' around here...:gig...around here Souse meat is known as 'Head Cheese'...cause it is made Totally of hog Head....has alot of Cartilage in it....:drool....the Spicy is pretty Good!!
 
I agree, I thought head cheese was essentially all the non bone parts of a pig's head (brains and teeth excluded) after it has been cooked for a really long time. No, I've never had it.
 
I am well aware that the original head cheese is totally from a hog's head. Then a few decades ago the foodie and health industry folks concerned with cholesterol , like our doctor , started to promote the idea of using the more "healthy" meats of turkey and chicken. The idea is the same, but the flavor has something to be desired. So , what can I say other than put the turkey carcass to use as food or throw it out ?
 
Another way to use the meat off the bones is to add some cream of mushroom soup and pour it over mashed potatoes. Or, use the turkey meat , add some seasoning and place inside a soft taco . Or, just place some turkey meat pieces between 2 slices of bread and pour some hot left over gravy over it. Etc.
 
I used to take all the scrap meat and add it to the left over gravy, then heat and ladle out over toast or biscuits. YUM! Now I use that and all the cartilage and edible waste to add to the dog's food. The bones themselves can make a decent broth/soup.
