  1. Make a pot of our Corn Chowder using The Old Mill’s best-selling Signature Corn Chowder Soup Mix and add leftover turkey or ham to make it heartier.

  2. Make croutons with your leftover dressing. They’re easy to make. Spread the dressing out on a baking dish about an inch thick and bake at 350 degrees until the top browns. Cut into small squares and serve over our Broccoli Cheddar Soup for an extra crunchy flavor!

  4. Make a pot pie with our Loaded Baked Potato Soup Mix and add in any leftover ham and veggies like green beans, carrots, peas, and corn. You can use a prepared pie shell or ready to use pie dough, or make biscuits. If you have leftover dressing, you can top it with that too and pour a little melted butter over the top before baking. Bake at 350 degrees until the top browns.

  5. Make a Turkey Shephard’s Pie with our Creamy Vegetable Soup. Prepare the soup with 3 cups of water and 3 cups of half/half or heavy cream to thicken it. Use leftover dressing on the bottom, topped with the prepared soup and leftover turkey and any vegetable you may have left. Top it with leftover mashed potatoes and cheese. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes to heat through. Serve with cranberry sauce.
