- Turkey Noodle Soup: A great way to use your leftover turkey from Thanksgiving is to make soup. Follow the same directions using the carcass, neck, and any other bones. Pick excess meat off bones and supplement with Thanksgiving leftovers. Note: Turkey stock will be a little more cloudy than chicken stock.
