Hello,
The guest have all left! The dishes are all clean and put away! Now, what do you do with all the left overs? If you didn't give any to your family and friends food to take home, you will have plenty of left overs. You can make the typical turkey sandwiches, turkey salad, turkey casserole, potato pancakes, ham salad, ham and bean soup, etc. I am planning on making a nice big pot of "Turkey Soup" saving some and giving some away. Who can turn down free soup?
I like to start with sauteing some vegetables, whatever you have in the house will work. Onions, carrots, celery, zucchini, etc. I pull off any turkey that I can from the carcass (bones), then take the carcass put it in a big pot cover it with water and simmer it to make stock for your soup. This will guarantee your soup is full of flavor and enjoyed by everyone. Once your vegetables are sauteed and your stock is ready combine the two. If you want to add starch to this soup you can add potatoes, pasta or beans. Sometimes I like to put in the left over gravy and green beans as well no use leaving it to go to waste. Just try and be creative with what you have left for leftovers and you will be surprised what you end up with. I would suggest leaving out anything sweet or that has bread in it.
Look for future leftover recipes and ideas.....................
Enjoy,
Mo
