I’m pretty sure one of the best aspects of Thanksgiving is the abundance of leftovers. Since Thursday I have had countless plates of “Thanksgiving dinner” all over again. I’m not sick of turkey yet!
It can get boring to eat the same dinner over and over again, so I made a simple soup out of leftover turkey.
Leftover Turkey Soup
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
3 carrots, sliced
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups turkey breast
Directions: Saute the vegetables in a pan in the olive oil until soft and add pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the broth into the pan and add the turkey. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
Enjoy with other leftovers, like mashed potatoes + gravy!

I hope everyone is having a nice Sunday. I went to church this morning and now I’m working on homework (I go back to school tomorrow). I might go bowling later with Jimmy or walk Lola, though it is raining out-ugh.
Do you love leftovers? Do you do anything fun with them?!

That soup sounds amazing right now, especially since I’m freezing and starving! 🙂
I love making homemade soups to use up leftovers, especially vegetables!
that is one of y favorite ways to et leftovers….STEWS!! oh and egg casseroles. enjoy your last day.
Leftovers are great in sandwiches and salads…or just by themselves. Soup is also a great way to stretch them out too!
Wow that is so easy and awesome. Stews seem to be the favorites for left overs eh? I may have to give them a whirl. 🙂
mmmmmmmmmm the Boys mom is making turkey soup too! and i have a ton of turkey also, so I’m thinking about it as well!
today we had turkey wraps and sammys! 😀
happy week Allie!! 😀
I LOVE leftovers!!!!! It means I get to take a break from cooking for a day or so… Ha, ha. 🙂 I do love cooking, but I’m all for a break once in awhile.
I may like Thanksgiving leftovers even more than Thanksgiving dinner (and may have posted a little about my leftovers as well 😀 ). I love simple soups, they are such a great winter and post-holiday food.
I made a turkey and mushroom Thai curry out of the leftover turkey. And a soup but that’s not as exciting as the curry.
I wish I had turkey leftovers to make this soup! So simple and so perfect!
