There is nothing I love more than a homemade turkey dinner. This Thanksgiving, my fiance Warren and I went out of town to visit family and had our Thanksgiving turkey dinner with them. When we got home we realized we were missing out on all of the joys of leftover turkey! Leftover Turkey Soup, Turkey Sandwiches, cold turkey out of the fridge at 2 AM when you wake up in the middle of the night because you’re 6 months pregnant  (maybe that one just applies to me.) So we decided we had to cook ourselves a turkey dinner for absolutely no occasion in the middle of the work week – for just the two of us. Out of our wonderful turkey dinner came this delicious Leftover Turkey Soup. I hope you enjoy it as much as we both did!
