Sorry I am a little late today. I had problems with a sluggish computer. In fact, that's a large part of why I haven't posted more all week. But here I am:) Still with a very sluggish computer that needs Metamucil.

I wanted to post a recipe this week that used TURKEY. After all, I cooked two of them for Thanksgiving and I wanted to use it all up. Every last morsel and drip.
I found a recipe we enjoyed, with our own modifications of course. Why is that anyway? If I get a recipe, it can be a recipe that is perfectly tasty -- and I still have to modify it. What is it that compels me to do so? I guess we just want our own special brand? Whatever.
Tex Mex Turkey Soup (find original recipe here)
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
Saute in butter or olive oil until onions are translucent then add:
2 teaspoons chili powder
1+ teaspoons cumin (Should I say it again? I LOVE cumin:)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon parsley
6 cups turkey broth (made with bone broth if possible)
2 quarts canned tomatoes
2 anaheim chiles, roasted and diced
(instead of home canned tomatoes and chiles you can use canned if you wish)
1 and 1/2 cups salsa
1 pound COOKED beans of your choice (or one 14 ounce can)
1 cup corn (my hubby doesn't like corn so I go easy on it, sadly. I know it is unamerican.)
4 cups shredded turkey
Heat until bubbly then let it simmer for at least 30 minutes. I put mine in the crockpot and left at all day so the flavors could mingle. Then stir in:
4-8 ounces cream cheese
Stir until melted then add:
Sour cream, creme fraiche or plain yogurt to taste
Cilantro to taste
Serve topped with any/all of the following:
tortilla chips
sour cream
green onions
salsa
cilantro
avocado
tomatoes
olives
CHEESE
How have you used your turkey leftovers? Any soups today?
I am hoping to tell you about another way I used up our turkey in my Menu Plan Monday post. But I will be traveling to see my Grandma so am not sure if I will get it posted or not.
Don't forget about Pantry Raid: Craft Projects, Charity, Calendars and Cards on Monday as well.
Here's Mr. Linky in case you'd like to post a soup recipe this week too.
Have a great week!

Wowza! That sounds delightful!
We were given a turkey this year but I didn't cook it up until Monday of this week. I boiled the bones all day yesterday and made a turkey noodle soup today. Simple yet yummy with grilled cheese to dip in it. I'm sure mine wasn't as flavorful as yours, but it felt hearty and warm as it was homemade by moi! I may try your recipe this week just for fun!
Posted my Cheesy Broccoli, and before I apologize, I'll just confess, and I know it'll send ya all to your knees praying for my salvation
I love Velveeta
There I said it. Sorry guys, but oooh! It tasted so good! It might taste ok with out the mighty V, but I personally don't have any interest in trying :-) I do think the leeks add a rich and savory element you won't find in other broccoli Soups.
