[Hgrove]

what can I do with them apart from obviously throwing them into the bin? Any way of making them a bit more interesting?

Use them with turkey stock to make a soup.

1 tablespoon ground black pepper
Blanch carrots in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer carrots to bowl of ice water using slotted spoon. Return water to boil. Add sprouts and blanch until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to another bowl of ice water. Drain vegetables, and refrigerate if making ahead. Bring stock, butter or margarine, and brown sugar to a boil in a heavy large skillet. Stir until sugar dissolves. Boil until reduced by half, about 7 minutes.

Mash the carrots and either add to mash potato or add a little butter and nutmeg and serve (heated up obviously). Lovely!

As for the sprouts, chuck 'em!
