I probably have at least 2 cups of it. Looks a lot like chicken fat except it's white instead of yellow, and it smells like roast turkey. Use it for biscuits? For frying potatoes? Freeze it, then dump it in the trash because I don't need all those calories and neither do the dogs?

Fat I won't eat goes to my chickens or goes in the fireplace to start fires in a hurry. Roll it in birdseed and put it out for the songbirds. Smear it on the windshield of those that annoy you. Waterproof a garment and hike in bear country. Grease your wagon axles. The possibilities are endless.

It is too soft to make a make a bird feeder. I like the windshield thing, or the wagon axles. Thanks!
It's about 3 cups. I could make soap with it... Turkey scented soap to keep the bears away ;)

Confit potatoes.
Scrambled eggs
Essentially you can use it any way that you would use schmaltz (rendered chicken fat). Look on the internet for tons of ideas.

I was cooking down the last cup of it, skimmed off the top of the broth from boiling a roast turkey carcass. It was popping a lot, so I sliced up a red potato in it, turned up the heat, and fried them (that stopped 99% of the popping and splattering) Blotted the taters on a couple of paper towels and lightly salted them Damn that was good! Probably not much greasier than french fries, but I still probably shouldn't do that very often.

make mayonnaise from it.
