THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS

Thanksgiving leftovers are as much a part of the holiday tradition as the feast itself. Every year I save the carcass of our turkey just so I can make up a big pot of yummy Turkey Carcass Soup. It is very easy to make, give it a try and just enjoy and get ready for the biggest Holiday Season of the year.

TURKEY CARCASS SOUP

Simmer carcass in 6 cups water for 2 to 3 hours,
1 lg. chopped onion
3 celery stalks diced
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
2/3 c. raw rice
1 pkg. *frozen mixed vegetables

When carcass is cool enough, take all the meat off the bones and discard bones.
Skim off any fat. Add all other ingredients and simmer until rice and vegetables are done.

*Use or add any fresh vegetables your family enjoy or you have on hand.
