Still have your Thanksgiving turkey carcass? Don’t let it go to waste. Use it to make Next Day Turkey Soup. Let the carcass simmer in broth for a couple of hours and it’ll help you make an unbelievable, rich-flavored stock for this light and hearty soup.

It’s a perfect, lighter dinner choice after a couple of days of eating all of those heavy leftover side dishes.

There is something really satisfying about having a large pot of soup simmering away on the stove. With a couple of rolls for dunking, it makes for a nice, comforting dinner. And with any luck you’ll have enough for a few days worth of lunches too.
This recipe can be found HERE.

This looks really healthy for the day after a big blow out! I like how you’ve tucked the sage leaves in the napkin ring.

A beautiful “light” soup!! Although a rustic leftover soup, this could easily be served at a very elegant dinner!!!

Looks yummy! My guys are so into the leftover turkey, we rarely have enough to do anything like this. I keep trying to get larger birds, and they just dig in even more. I’ll have to just oogle your comforting bowl of soup ; )

Our hosts let us take the carcass home and we immediately made stock for turkey and dumpling soup. Soup’s perfect for the sudden cold/rainy spell we’re having in San Diego, huh?
