HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF LEFTOVER TURKEY
When making your Thanksgiving turkey keep in mind the delicious soup you can make from the turkey bones and the lingering meat left on the bones. It is the best kept secret for leftover makeover recipes.
Instead of throwing out the turkey carcass, I put it in a stockpot and filled it with water.
Simmer it for an hour or two, and then easily remove the meat.
Discard the bones and add your vegetables, and 15 minutes before serving, add the pasta shell.
