Turkey Chowder

We had a beautiful, almost 24 lb turkey as part of our Christmas dinner feast.  Turkey is always such a versatile and extremely frugal meat!  Not only does it give a lovely main meal the leftovers can be used in so many ways including creamed turkey casserole, one of our family favourites.   You can be sure there is always a canner full of turkey stock after we have turkey as well.

There's hot, open faced turkey sandwiches, turkey in salads, creamed turkey casserole, and turkey stock.  This time I decided to make a very quick and easy turkey chowder using leftover turkey.  The end result was a lovely, thick and yummy chowder just perfect for a cold winter's day!
