After trimming all the meat and the tastiest bits from your holiday turkey, don't throw away the carcass. It can be used to make a delicious soup the next day. Roasted bones add a richer, more intense flavor to the broth. Add vegetables, herbs, small pasta, and leftover turkey meat to the soup. Serve with fresh crusty bread.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Combine the turkey bones, broth, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme in a large pot (if necessary, cut the carcass into pieces to accommodate all the bones) and add enough water to cover by 2 cm. Bring to a boil over medium heat; then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
- Strain the soup through a sieve into a large bowl; discard any solids. Pour all but 2 cups of the broth back into the cauldron; set the remaining broth aside for another use (it can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month).
- Add the turkey, green beans, corn, and sweet potato to the pot, cover, and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes. Add the pasta and continue to simmer, uncovered, until the pasta and sweet potato are tender, 10-12 minutes. Season with dill, black pepper, and salt to taste. Serve with bread.
