One of the best parts of all the cooking for a big Thanksgiving or Christmas feast is the leftovers. We love leftover turkey in soups, casseroles, salads, or sandwiches. I don't like the task of cutting the meat off the turkey carcass, but I love having ready to use, premeasured packages of cubed turkey in the freezer. It is well worth the time to have the work done in advance of the need. Especially during the busy Christmas season. Blessings...
Recipe:
4 1/2 cups chicken broth
pepper to taste
3/4 cup thinly sliced carrot
2/3 cup thinly sliced celery
3/4 cup uncooked medium egg noodles
1 cup cubed cooked turkey or chicken
1. Combine broth, pepper, carrot and celery in saucepan. Bring to a boil; lower heat to simmer for about 5 minutes or until vegetables just begin to get tender.
2. Add noodles and turkey, or chicken, and return broth to a boil. Cook until noodles are tender, about 5 minutes more. Be careful to not overcook and turn the noodles to mush.
