A hearty and flavorful slow cooker turkey soup, packed full of Thanksgiving leftovers! A comforting dish the entire family will love!

We’re in the final countdown to the Gilmore Girls revival! I have a feeling I know what a lot of people will be doing this coming Friday, if they’re not out Black Friday shopping! I really hope it’s just as good as the original series was and that it hasn’t been all hype. It would be such a downer for it to not be as good. Here’s to hoping! Will you be one of the many watching?

Speaking of Black Friday… are you a die hard Black Friday shopper, waiting in line for stores to open, fighting the crowds for insane deals OR are you an online shopper? I’m 90% online this time of year. I avoid the mall at all costs until February. I’m not a fan of crowds. I’d much rather find what I need online, when possible, and have it shipped. And this time of year, most stores seem to offer great shipping deals anyway! That kind of makes it a no brainer!

We were all a bit shocked over the weekend with how cool it got. We shouldn’t be complaining or surprised…it is almost December after all! I’m not sure how that happened, but it did! I wish I could stick my fingers in my ears, close my eyes real tight and pretend that Winter isn’t really coming. I may have to put on some red shoes and click my heels together in a few months. I’m not ready for snow and super cold temps quite yet. Speaking of… I’m already seeing so many areas that are getting snow! That isn’t a good sign of things to come. Too early for this nonsense!

What’s better than Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving leftovers!

Even as a kid, I’ve always been a huge fan of sneaking into the fridge and grabbing pieces of cold turkey. Leftovers are quite possibly the best part about the holiday. But, turkey sandwiches can get old and boring real fast. Every year I like to come up with fun new ways to enjoy the leftovers!

Some past favorites… turkey shepherd’s pie, slow cooker turkey and stuffing dumpling soup, leftover Thanksgiving turkey pizza An absolute must see! And… turkey enchiladas! All completely delicious and definite must makes!

Fun and exciting ways to change up otherwise basic leftovers!

This year, I did a fun twist on one of my absolute favorite soup recipes.

Easy and comforting slow cooker turkey pie soup, packed full of Thanksgiving leftovers! And if you’re not lucky enough to have leftovers, don’t worry, you can still make this! In fact, it’s an excuse to have a turkey dinner!

Add this comforting turkey pie soup to your dinner plans! The entire family will be asking for seconds!
