Need a cheap and easy idea for extending turkey left overs? Inexpensive and easy-to-make turkey soup is healthy too!
Chances are good that you have some Thanksgiving turkey left overs in your freezer. If you don't, you need to get out and shop the sales for Christmas turkeys to save money by having left overs and an extra turkey or two in the freezer to enjoy later in the year.
My Healthy Cost-Cutter Turkey Soup is a simple, healthy recipe with directions for freezing some of the soup to further stretch your budget dollars. Vary the seasonings in the broth, add a splash of wine or use white and wild rice or barley in place of the pasta to make the soup a little differently each time you serve it.
In my house, no meal is complete without dessert, and this time of year we are topping off our delicious turkey soup meal with very easy and budget-conscious Christmas Pretzel Cookies. Yum!
The turkey soup recipe is a meal-stretcher because you get many meals from one main course. Can you share any meal-stretching recipes or ideas? Please post them in the Personal Budgeting Food Stretchers Discussion!
