Are you trying to find something to make with your leftover turkey? Instead of turkey sandwiches, why not have a good old fashion bowl of turkey soup. If you’re tired of turkey today, freeze it for tomorrow.
Preparation Time: 10-15 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 6-8
Ingredients
Leftover turkey with bones
16 cups water
4 cups turkey,chopped
1 pint half-n-half
2 medium onions, diced
3 large carrots, diced
4 celery stalks with leaves, diced
1 1/2 cups margarine/butter
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon parsley
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white rice, uncooked
Directions:
1. Pull meat and skin off turkey into a large bowl. Place only skin and bones into 5 quart saucepan with 16 cups of water; cook for 20 minutes. Remove from burner; pour through strainer into a large bowl. Discard skin and bones. Set aside turkey broth.
2. Place vegetables, rice and 4 cups turkey broth into the same saucepan. Cook on low-medium heat for 20 minutes or until vegetables are fork tender; stir occasionally. Pour into the same bowl as turkey; set aside.
3. Melt margarine in the same saucepan; mix in flour; cook until bubbly. Add half-n-half and the set aside turkey broth into the same saucepan; bring to a boil. Next, add vegetable mixture, turkey, and seasonings into saucepan. Heat thoroughly while stirring occasionally.
Tip #1: Freeze leftover soup for 1 month.
Tip #2: Use store bought turkey broth instead of making your own turkey to save time.

This recipe looks really great, but I don’t know what half-n-half is, or if we have an equivalent here in the UK. Can you enlighten me, please?
