Or at least that's what Ben is calling it!
So how many of you are making something with leftover turkey today? We've been eating leftovers all weekend. I did cook on Friday though, because it was my daughter's 14th birthday. I made chicken enchiladas, refried beans, onion shortcake and Southwest Cheesecake. I'll have to post some of those recipes later.
Beth thought I should write down how I made this soup today, since *I* made it up. Of course we haven't eaten it yet, so who knows if it tastes good or not! lol It does smell divine though!
I do not have the exact measurements on any of this, but this is what I threw into the pot:
Leftover Turkey Broth (Neal made the turkey and used all kinds of spices and herbs. I drained the broth and put it in the pot. I probably had about 2 quarts of broth)
5 small potatoes, diced
Onion, about 1 cup diced
Celery, about 2/3 cup diced (all I had left)
Carrots, about 1 1/2 cups diced
Let the above ingredients come to a boil and then turn down to medium heat. Cook about 45 minutes and then add:
frozen corn, about 1 cup
frozen lima beans, about 1 cup
green beans (about 1 cup -- I used what was left in fridge)
Northern Beans, 1 can (do not drain)
Turkey, about 2 or 3 cups diced
I think that's it. It is simmering on the stove right now and is making us all hungry!
What did you do with your leftover turkey?
(**Note** The soup was a success! I didn't have any because I had a stomach bug, but the family liked it a lot!)
