The left-over turkey, duh dun dun...

So, in preparation for the Thanksgiving feast I started brushing up on my leftover turkey recipes. And there are a few in the arsenal. My grandmother always insists on a full turkey (even the year there were only 5 of us) and sometimes a ham too! Needless to say we usually have more leftovers than can be disposed of with cold turkey sandwhiches. I think this is the favorite, it even gets made without leftovers.

Turkey and Wild Rice Soup

Note: You can use poached or really any leftover turkey or chicken for this soup. The 90sec wild rice pkgs are nice, but it takes 2!

2c. Mirepoix (equal parts oinion, celery, and carrot)

2T butter

2T flour

12oz can evaporated milk

3.5 cups chicken broth

3 c wild rice, cooked

1-2c chopped cooked turkey (any piece)

Sautee the mirepoix in the butter until crisp tender. Add the flour and stir in, cooking for 2 min (get rid of that "flour-y" taste). Add broth and milk and bring the a soft simmer. Add rice and turkey and warm through. Serve warm!
