Turkey soba noodle soup, from Jeanette's Healthy Living
Maybe it's this way in your house, too -- in my house, we prize leftover turkey just as much as the bird carved on the holiday table. The carcass transforms into quarts of stock, and the meat fills any number of sandwiches, stir-fries and soups. This turkey soba noodle soup from Jeanette's Healthy Living is just the kind of post-holiday-indulgence soup I like to make. Think of it as a healthy cleanse, a way for your body to regroup and restore energy for the holiday shopping ahead. If you're eating gluten-free, be sure to read the ingredients on the package of buckwheat noodles. Some are 100 percent buckwheat (and gluten-free), others contain wheat flour.
The first thing I do when we're done with Thanksgiving dinner is throw the turkey carcass into a pot to make turkey stock. I love making noodle soup with it or congee and have even been know to freeze a carcass and hide it in my suitcase if we're out of town and cooking elsewhere ;). Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Lydia!
