Is your fridge stuffed with lots of holiday leftovers? I thought I’d remind you of one of my favorite recipes for AFTER Thanksgiving…my Leftover Turkey & Rice Soup.

It’s super simple to make and I actually try to save some turkey just to make this recipe. I think I actually like it better than the plain turkey that I serve for our holiday meal.

With the quick convenience of Veetee Rice and a few key ingredients you can give a second life to your turkey leftovers.
