Turkey Split Pea Soup w/Barley

By Becca

Super easy and tasty!

Ingredients:
  • 4-6 cups Turkey broth (see recipe on blog, or use store bought; chicken broth will work too)
  • 3-4 handfuls of split peas
  • 1/2-1 cup barley
  • about 1/2 teaspoon of crushed garlic, or dash of garlic powder
  • dark turkey meat
Directions:

Simmer ingredients in Crockpot until peas dissolve. (I put it together before bed and let it simmer all night and it turned out great!)

Thanksgiving Dinner Wrap

By Becca

Ingredients:
  • Flour or wheat tortilla wrap (or flavor of your choice)
  • Thanksgiving dinner leftovers (e.g., turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce--any flavors that blend well together; your pick!)
Directions:

Wrap leftovers in tortilla wrap. Cut in half. Enjoy!

Turkey Bacon Avacodo Wraps


By Becca

This is a great way to get a completely different taste combination with your leftover Thanksgiving turkey! Also works great with deli-sliced turkey breast.

Ingredients (per wrap):
  • Spinach wrap (or flavor of your choice)
  • a few slices of turkey
  • 2 slices cooked bacon
  • 1 small or 1/2 large avocado, sliced
  • romaine lettuce
  • 1 Roma tomato, chopped
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Dressing of choice (I like Creamy Italian for this recipe)
Directions:

Roll ingredients into wrap. Slice diagonally and enjoy.

Turkey Broth

By Jon and Becca

Ingredients:

  • 1 turkey carcass
  • 1 onion, carrot, and/or celery stalk, chopped coarsely*
  • salt and pepper to taste (a couple dashes works fine)
Directions:

Boil carcass in enough water to cover with vegetables and salt and pepper for two hours. Skim fat as it cools. (Jon used a turkey baster to suck up the fat from the top).

*We didn't have a carrot or celery, but it still turned out great and delicious!
