Tasty Turkey Leftovers

I made this yummy soup tonight with my turkey leftovers, adding some vegetables and noodles. It was a great variation on chicken noodle. Although my children were with me in the kitchen and helped chop vegetables, add seasoning, and asked lots of questions about what was going into the soup, they were reluctant to gobble up very much of it. Here's my "recipe." Use what you've got.

Turkey Noodle Soup
1 tbs. chopped garlic
3/4 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped celery
3/4 c. chopped carrots
1/2 c. chopped mushrooms
3/4 c. sweet potatoes--cut into small cubes
leftover turkey slices chopped into soup size bites
3tbs. butter
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
dash of sherry
6-8 cups of chicken stock/broth or water (I used 3 bouillon cubes with water)
1 c. noodles (I used ramen, but egg noodles would probably be better)

Saute all the chopped vegetables in butter until the onions are clear. Add the rosemary, salt and pepper, bay leaf and sherry. Continue to saute about 5 minutes, then add stock and turkey pieces. Bring everything to a gentle boil, toss in the noodles then simmer about 10 min. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Makes enough to feed an army.
