Thankful - November 27th

Today, I'm thankful I'm such a good cook - ha! Not really, but I am thankful that I got off my booty and made something with all that leftover turkey (I also cleaned my entire house and did all the laundry and walked on the treadmill - all in an effort to get this labor started...but I digress)...

So - need something to do with that leftover turkey, here it goes.

Take all leftover turkey - I had about 4 cups of turkey, maybe less - and put in crockpot. All of my turkey was off the bone and de-skinned/de-fatted (de-skinned makes no sense now that I re-read this, but you know what I mean).
Add chicken broth (I used 2 boxes, but could have gotten away with 1 and a half, but oh well).
Add 3 stalks chopped celery, a couple chopped carrots, and 2 diced potatoes - you can also add onions, but I skip those as I hate them...
Season with whatever you like - I used thyme, garlic, minced onion, pepper, butter, all-purpose seasoning, etc. If I would have had some bullion I would have added it, but I try not to subject Matt to my salt cravings...
Let simmer all day - prior to serving, shred the turkey and skim off any extra fat. Feel free to add flour to thicken it up.
Then I cooked some biscuits (the kind in a cardboard tube) and then poured the soup over.

Yum.

So this made a lot, I'm freezing at least 6 servings that should come in handy when little one arrives. Anybody have any other suggestions for crockpot or freezable meals??
