Bird to the Last Drop

Thanksgiving leftovers soup in a white bowl.
ACTIVE TIME: 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour 35 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
A warm and hearty soup made easy with leftover Thanksgiving turkey and store-bought ingredients.
Resist the urge to pick the bones clean before using this application. A little turkey meat in the soup, especially dark meat, will up the flavor ante considerably. As always, season to taste, but don’t be afraid to go heavy on the black pepper. I don’t know why turkey seems to be able to take so much pepper, but by the time I’m through with it, the bowl is teeming with wee black bits.
