A neighbor was giving away corn husks and masa, so opened up a secondhand Mexican cookbook and learned how to make tamales. Thawed turkey for the filling. The other ingredients were already in the pantry.
When the meat was done the broth smelled too good to discard. Added rice, carrots, and onions.
After eating our fill of tamales for dinner we now have plenty of extras in the deep freezer and we'll be having turkey soup for tomorrow's lunch.
Definitely adding this to next year's post-holiday leftovers menu plan.
