Thanksgiving Leftovers Take Center Stage

Tuesday, Nov 29, 2011

Thanksgiving has come and gone, yet my refrigerator is still full of leftovers.  It’s no secret that I waste nothing and love to reinvent classic dishes through reusing simple ingredients.  Thus Thanksgiving leftovers provide the perfect stage for this.  It’s common for leftover dishes to often take center stage following the holidays in our home.  There are endless possibilities, but turkey is usually what’s at the center of our dishes.

This year, my family’s favorite post Thanksgiving dish is Homemade Turkey Noodle Soup.  It is a twist on our Homemade Chicken Soup, using gluten-free noodles and reusing leftover turkey.  Perhaps it’s the weather outside, or that bug that’s been going around our house, but this protein and vegetable packed soup warms our stomachs and home.  What’s your favorite Thanksgiving leftover dish this year?
