Crock Pot Turkey and Potato Chowder – Thanksgiving Leftovers
Tomorrow is the biggest and best holiday of the year, well, at least the biggest eating holiday of the year. A few weeks ago Malik and I were shopping at Walmart and it was packed with people getting their Thanksgiving fixins’.
Their carts were filled with all the ingredients to make the perfect Thanksgiving meal to share with their family and friends.
Many people will overcook and then have leftovers for days so it’s important to find creative ways in which to make those leftovers appetizing. Now I am not saying that a Turkey and Cheese sandwich with mayo and a slice of tomato isn’t appetizing, but there are other options.
As a small family of four, we always have Thanksgiving leftovers so in looking for creative recipes I found this one for a Crock Pot Turkey and Potato Chowder, but of course added a little twist based on my veggie preferences.
Ingredients:
4-5 cups of Red Potatoes
3 tsp Minced Garlic
1 cup Onions, chopped
1 bag frozen Mixed Veggies (corn, peas and carrots)
1/2 bag frozen mixed Sweet Peppers
3 Sprigs of fresh Thyme – remove from stems
3-4 cups of cooked Turkey
4 cups of Chicken Broth
4 tbsp of Corn Starch
1 cup Heavy Cream
Instructions:
Wash and chop potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Stir corn starch into chicken broth than add potatoes and remaining ingredients except for the Heavy Cream into Crock Pot. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Stir in Heavy Cream, cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
Serve with crackers or corn bread.

You sure come up with yummy looking recipes!!! Looks like I need to learn how to cook for one now. Unfortunately my husband lost his battle with cancer on Veteran’s Day. It is still hard to believe he is gone. I am so glad that tomorrow I get to go to my best friend’s house for Thanksgiving! I keep very busy so I don’t get too depressed! Happy Thanksgiving sweetie!

Was just thinking what can I make with leftovers…providing there are any 😉
Yes, we had plenty of leftover turkey but not so much of anything else.
All of this looks sooo tasty!
Thank you, it’s a great way to use turkey leftovers.
I wish I would have seen this before I ate all the leftovers! It looks great!
Well…there’s always next year! Gobble Gobble!
