EUGENE, Ore. -- Sometimes a successful Thanksgiving includes the leftovers.

Celebrity chef Bobby Flay recommends cooking just one meal to save money for each holiday.  That means there's no separate menu for the children and they have to make do with what the adults are dining on.

Also, before you even go shopping, check your pantry to save money by cooking with what you have.  Flay tried his own experiment and came up with mayonnaise, curry powder and salt and pepper.  In his fridge, he already had onions, garlic and limes. 
From his herb pot, he picked a couple of sprigs of fresh cilantro.  He purchased a turkey and created a Tandoori style Roast Turkey.

Here's the recipe:

Serves. 4
Preparation time. 20 minutes
Marinating time. 2-8 hours
Cooking time. About 90 minutes
 

Ingredients
3/4 cup Hellman's Real Mayonnaise
1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons good quality curry powder
Zest of 1 fresh lime
Juice of 2 fresh limes
1 boneless, skinless turkey breast, about 4 to 5 pounds
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1) Combine the mayonnaise, onion, garlic, curry powder, lime zest, and juice in a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture in a large bowl, add the turkey breast and cilantro, and turn to coat the entire turkey in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.

2) Setup your grill for 2-zone indirect cooking and preheat it to 350F.

3) Remove the turkey from the marinade, season well with salt and pepper, and put the meat on the indirect side of the grill, and cover it. Add 2 ounces of smoke wood if you wish. If you are cooking indoors in an oven, place the meat on a baking rack set in a small roasting pan or a baking sheet. Roast until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of the breast registers 160F, about 90 minutes. Remove to a cutting board, loosely tent with foil and let rest 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

And after the large meal with family, consider what you can do with your ingredients to impress the second round of guests.
Flay says, "If you have a little leftover and of course there's always going to be leftovers, rather than sandwiches, why not do turkey fajitas?"

He demonstrated how to prepare the fajitas. You need to shred the turkey, fry some peppers and onions and create a sauce.
Again, using the things you have on hand, mix up mayo, salt and pepper, lime juice and an avocado for a sauce.  

For the turkey fajitas meal, Flay purchased one avocado and tortillas.  He had a red pepper in his fridge along with the previously used ingredients.
