So We have been eating sandwiches and turkey with gravey over potatoes.
With the cold weather on us now I decided that soup was the thing so I took a can of low sodium chicken broth and chunked up a bunch of turkey, celery left over carrots some onion and a bay leaf and simmered it all until it was nice and hot and the flavors blended. It was pretty yummy. I do miss salt and noodles too!
