Most everyone has trouble using up all the left over turkey from a big meal, but this is a delicious way to finish off the last little bits. My sister found this recipe and made it after Thanksgiving one year. It has been on the "Post Turkey Day" menu every year since. Really a Turkey Corn Chowder but lots more tasty.

How To Make dee's turkey continental
-
1In a stockpot over medium to medium high heat, melt butter and saute onion, potato and celery (and if using FRESH corn, saute it with these veggies)until the onion and celery are clear and softened 5-7 minutes.
-
2Add the broth and simmer until the potatoes are nearly tender. Potatoes should have some resistance to a fork as they will cook farther with next steps.
-
3Add Corn (if using any other than fresh), all the seasonings, and evaporated milk. Stir well. Whisk in the thickener at this point if desired.
-
4Simmer all together for 15 to 20 minutes. Add chopped turkey and let it heat through.
-
5Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
-
6Serve with a sprinkle of parsley and a dash of paprika. Great with toasted crusty French bread.
-
7I think this soup tastes better if made early and allow the flavors to meld for a while, but can be eaten right from the pot.
