Rafal Stachura/ThinkStock 1Turkey Noodle Soup
What's nice about this recipe is that you can use the turkey carcass and scrapes to make a simple broth from scratch. Add some left over green beans and you've got yourself a nice, hearty soup! Get the recipe HERE.

This has to be one of the easiest ways to use those leftovers... grab some tortilla chips, top them with your favorite Thanksgiving leftovers, put in the oven under "broil", give it a couple minutes to get nice and hot, and you're good to go! You can even substitute leftover cranberry sauce instead of salsa!
