Turkey Vegetable Soup
This is one of my "tried-and-true" recipes that I always make after Thanksgiving when the turkey leftovers are just about used up. The carcass makes a wonderful broth, and it's amazing how much more meat is made available after boiling those bones!12 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Cook: 45 min.
