Dinner’s done and the only thing more stuffed than the bird is you. Now the question becomes: What to do with all those leftovers?
While many say simple reheating is all that’s necessary to have a “day after” feast, others have elaborate recipes for turning Thanksgiving leftovers into gourmet delights.
From savory turkey soups to sinfully delicious pot pies and mile-high sandwiches, everyone has their own ideas on what to do with what’s leftover. The Food Network even has an entire recipe collection dedicated to the topic.

take all of the bones out and put them in a big bowl to cool. strain the broth and set it aside. go through all the bones and pick out the nice pieces of meat, and toss everything that does not look delicious. cut up an onion and some celery and carrots into small pieces and boil in the broth. just until tender, not mushy. in another pan cook a hand full of noodles to the aldente stage. (not mushy, but rather almost done) when the broth has cooked the vegies turn off the soup, add the turkey pieces into bite sized chunks and then add the noodles and a bit of fresh parsley. oh, drizzle a tiny bit of soy sauce and season with salt and pepper. voila! you have a soup that will make you want to kiss your mother. the broth will be rich and tasty. if you want to be really crazy you can add a few of the left over peas for bright color. don't let the onions and celery and carrots get mushy, let them only cook to the point that they are tender. that way the soup will have a great texture. GIVE PEAS A CHANCE! love, mama t
