using what’s on hand

Recently I initiated a leftovers week in order to clear out all that stuff we had in our freezer. One day I pulled out the turkey we had brought home from Terry’s sister’s condo at Thanksgiving. I had sealed it up in the FoodSaver and frozen it.

There wasn’t that much there, so I decided to make soup. I chopped it up and put it in the saucepan. I added some celery we still had from an earlier meal and then added some frozen mixed veggies that Terry had bought, wanting to to get more vegetables in her diet. I added vegetable broth I had in the pantry and then filled out the difference with water. I threw in some Penzeys Mural of Flavor seasoning. I let it simmer on the stove for a while.

I served the turkey and vegetable soup with garlic bread.

Terry loved it. It worked out well.
