After Turkey Day next week, you will need to do something with all the Turkey meat that you will have left over (unless you have a huge family). I am here to save the day! Here is a great chowder you can use to make use of all the meat and it’s also a great way to change up your regular Thanksgiving meal if you want something different.
Ingredients:
3 Cups Leftover Cooked Turkey
1 Onion
4 Yellow Onions
1 Can Sweet Corn
1 Can Cream of Corn
1 Can Sliced Carrots
1 ½ Cups Milk
1 ½ Cups Chicken Stock
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 Tablespoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Pepper
2 Teaspoons Thyme
Directions:
- Begin by dicing your onion and potatoes.
- In a large soup pot, place your butter and diced onion. All to cook until onion is translucent.
- At this point, add everything else to the pot except your can of carrots. Bring to a boil then reduce and let simmer until potatoes are soft.
- Add your carrots and allow to simmer for a few more minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to sit for a few minutes before serving.

November 17, 2017 at 2:56 pmI’ve never repurposed my holiday leftovers…we literally eat holiday dinner for three solid days. Haha. We are sick of turkey by the third day. I should really change that this year, and make something tasty like this!

November 18, 2017 at 1:04 amSaving this for next week! Do you know if you can use coconut milk as a substitute?
Kita
November 18, 2017 at 3:25 amThat’s a great question. I have substituted with almond milk so I am sure coconut will work! If you try it please let me know

November 18, 2017 at 1:44 pmI love a good corn chowder so always looking for great recipes. We can get tired of turkey sandwiches. I did a turkey bacon alfredo dish with my leftovers.

November 19, 2017 at 7:43 amCorn chowder is a good food and so convenient. Blending leftover turkey with it looks like a nice combination indeed. It is always an issue managing the leftover after the end of celebrations.

November 19, 2017 at 8:21 amI love all soups and chowders any time of the year but especially this time of the year!! I will have to try this with the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, if there is any! LOL!

November 19, 2017 at 3:01 pmGreat! Another new recipe to “recycle” left over turkey! I am saving this recipe for later. I usually get a smaller size turkey so there will be little left overs, but I won’t mind if there is because that would be reason enough for me to make this soup!
