Thankful For Leftovers
Not to be a Negative Nelly, but I’m already sick of Thanksgiving Turkey – less than 24hrs to carving up the bird and I’m planning its demise in leftover hell (well, some would consider it to be heaven).
Considering this year my T-Day cook space will include a teeny tiny studio kitchen it’s probably best to keep the leftover recipes quick and easy. Try ‘Real Simple’s’ Turkey, Dill and Orzo Soup for a healthier alternative to the creamier broths available in stores (add more veggies for greater punch).
Serves 4: Hands-On Time: 10m / Total Time: 25m
Simmer 2 cut-up carrots and ½ cup orzo in 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in 1½ cups shredded roasted turkey and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill. Cook until heated through.
