Instructions: 1 Pick your Thanksgiving turkey nearly clean. (Turkey salad is great for a few days, or even turkey pot pies.) We are not real concerned about the choice meat here. Dump the turkey and all of its debris, including the juices, into a large pot. Add water to near top of pan, leave some room for the remaining ingredients.

2 Add all vegetables and rice, and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for an hour to two.

3 Remove all turkey bones and unwanted debris (i.e., skin cartilage, etc.). There you have it. Its kind of a culinary scrapbook of your Turkey Day.

Makes 1 big pot

NOTES : "Eat to your hearts content the day after and/or freeze in several units. Take out of the freezer and heat in the zapper or in a double boiler. Enjoy that T-Day turkey until New Years. Despite the name it is a really great soup that my sisters friend shared with me.

This recipe is meant to use up any leftover vegetables and other ingredients, leftover green beans would make a great addition. Guess what her name is! "
