A great way to stretch a couple of extra meals from your Thanksgiving turkey that can also be frozen and enjoyed anytime. This is almost as popular as the turkey dinner itself at our house. Works exactly the same with chicken. Enjoy!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Don't toss the carcass after you're done with Thanksgiving turkey. Save it (and the leftover turkey) to make this turkey noodle soup. It's a savory soup with a well-balanced flavor. Adjust the seasonings to your liking. This will warm you up on a cold day and is perfect when you don't want a heavy post-Thanksgiving meal. It makes a large batch. Freeze extras to enjoy at a later date.
