THANKSGIVING SOON TO BE HERE AND WE USUALY HAVE LEFTOVER TURKEY. WE USUALY HAD BOTH TURKEY AND HAM FOR THANKSGIVING. I'VE BEEN MAKING THIS FOR MANY YEARS. IN LATER YEARS, WHEN THERE WAS ONLY THE 2 OF US, WE LOVED THIS RECIPE. I SERVE THIS ALONG WITH A SIDE OF BUTTERED EGG NOODLES AND CARROTS. AND OF COURSE, WE ALSO MADE TURKEY SOUP.
