lol, while i agree with your mom, that is why there are freezers now,

We had a freezer which I often considered "accidentally" switching off
during the turkey glut as it would have then gone off- I used to watch
her Boxing Day carefully wrapping little piles of turkey in foil so
they could be frozen. My mother's philosophy was if there was turkey
available she wasn't going to buy anything else for me to eat until it
was used up as I suspect she thought I was only worth leftovers

Still eating turkey, and still enjoying it just as much - we *never* have
enough to freeze with me around (I've eaten the whole shebang (stuffing,
mashed taters, creamed peas, etc.) as left-overs twice, turkey sandwiches
for lunch and dinner (sliced bread, mayo, turkey, stuffing and cranberry
sauce), and now I'm eating the "dregs" (since we ran out of stuffing) -
just plain turkey pieces with cranberry sauce. If the myth about
triptophan were true I'd be asleep for the next year! ;

I'm thrilled to hear you're eating so well! And if you still have turkey
left it's easy enough to bake a pan of dressing (stuffing without having
been stuffed into anything)

Some think the trytophan in turkey helps with insomnia. Other say its
the high carbohydrate that usually accompany Thanksgiving dinner that
helps.

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I'm *barely* holding on to the 90's in
weight despite the amount I eat. I have my own theories of what's going on,
but to convince a doctor to do the right tests and prove my supposition is
almost impossible.

Turkey isn't unusually high in tryptophan, and you need a LOT more than
any food can give you to have a sleep-inducing effect.

I reckon the alleged effect is actually due to not having to get up for
work next morning.

Eating a large meal (of whatever sort) tends to make most people sleepy.
