Everyone knows that there is always leftover turkey after Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. So what do you do with it all? How many turkey sandwiches can you eat before you are tired of them? Here is another recipe that is from my mom that can help to use up all that leftover turkery.

Turkey Chowder

3/4 C finely chopped onion
1/3 C chopped celery
3 T butter
1 t salt
1 1/2 C diced turkey
1/4 t thyme
2 C broth
1/4 t pepper
2 C diced potatoes
1 bay leaf
1 C diced carrots
2 T butter
3 T flour
2 C milk

Cook onion in 3 tablespoons butter in large saucepan. Add turkey, broth, vegetables and seasonings. Simmer until vegetables are tender. Melt remaining butter in skillet; blend in flour. Add milk and cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir white sauce into turkey vegetable mixture and heat thoroughly.

I'm not big on chowder but usually because it's made with seafood or corn... I might just have to try this

I just bought a turkey breast and now can't wait to cook it and use the leftovers in your soup recipe!

What a great idea! Could be made gluten-free as well, by using sweet rice flour instead of regular wheat flour.

It does sound good. We don't usually have turkey though (cause I really don't like it.) We stick to ham.

Mmmmm. I'll bet this is yummy. I hope I can remember where it is so I can come back and make it next month!

What a great idea! I am going to print this out because we always end up throwing a bunch of turkey away because we're really not big turkey eaters.
