Thanksgiving Leftovers

I was just wondering what all of you are going to do with your leftovers?

Me, I am going to make some turkey soup! With dried pinto beans, fresh carrots, celery, onions and garlic. And 3 types of pasta and chicken broth!

It is my first time trying to make soup but if it is like the first time I made salsa, it will be a big hit... LOL

All I know is that it will take a couple of hours for the beans to cook and then maybe an hour to simmer... Yummy!!

I made sandwiches from the meatn and my yeast rolls. We actually had a whole chicken and some turkey breasts becasue the turkey ends up going to waste. So they were a mixture of the meats.

Everything else is just getting eaten like normal!

EVERYTHING from the meal, DH is putting on his sandwich. We had one last night and he is doing it again tonight. LoL

Whenever I cook a chicken or turkey I always cook enough potatoes, stuffing and veggies so that I can make "TV Dinners" from the left overs.

It's great for those days when you forget to make a lunch. You can grab a frozen dinner out of the freezer and take it with you. Or if you are too tired to cook dinner you can pull one out and microwave it.

I buy those ziplock containers for when I freeze full meals. And I usually use empty margarine and yogurt containers for when I freeze soups or stews.

I am going to make enough soup to freeze for my lunches at work. It is too expensive to eat in the cafeteria and the food there is yucky anyway.

I got lucky and dished out my own left overs. That way I only have to eat about one serving of everything!

Love, love, love cold turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwiches.

We have everything in tupperware right now. Basically I'm out of anything with a lid

Slowly over the next few days we'll finish it off. The desserts are going faster than the food though

OK my first attempt was a huge success! Except I made too much and it turned out more like a thick turkey stew than soup. With fresh baked corn muffins (Jiffy) it was soooo good and filling! Mike had 2 bowls!!

Sammichs here I come!

Treats for the rats too!
