Turkey Corn Chowder


Leftovers... who doesn't have them from Thanksgiving? Our favorite for leftovers from T-Day is this soup but think leftovers before you go and look for or purchase the exact ingredients. I've made this with leftover gravy thinned out instead of stock; leftover corn; leftover potatoes both mashed and whole - whatever I had on hand. I also make it from fresh ingredients from time to time. It's hard to mess this one up - it's great no matter what!
