So what can you do with your turkey leftovers? Make creamy turkey soup. I found this Creamy Turkey Soup recipe on Food.com and it turned out fabulously. I used fresh chopped carrots and macaroni as the noodle. I used fresh turkey stock that I had made with the carcass of the turkey dinner that mulled in its own bones overnight and reduced down to a nice, rich turkey stock.
I love simple recipes with ingredients that you have at hand.
