Left over Turkey Dinner

After Thanksgiving #2 .... Left over turkey just isn't appealing...ugh....sooo I decided to do something different with it to make it a bit more yummy without over stuffing with turkey and to avoid throwing it away! :)

Turkey Veggie Soup

1 small sweet onion
3 celery stalks
4 carrots
4 cups Chicken Broth (or turkey or veggie)
2 cans diced tomatoes (seasoned with garlic + basil)
Left over Turkey shredded
2 tablespoons of EVOO
1 cup whole grain & wild rice
1 cup water

I first browned the diced onion in 2 tablespoons of EVOO.  While I boiled water to make 4 cups of chicken broth (you can use already made broth too).  Chopped up the carrots and celery.  Shredded the Turkey. Then threw them all into the crock-pot with the 2 cans of diced & seasoned tomatoes.  Next I added 1 cup rice and 1 cup water. Added a bit of salt, pepper, and basil.  Let it simmer for about 3hours on low and 2 hours on high. 

It was sooo yummy!! A great way to use left over turkey without feeling like you are eating MORE turkey!
