Thai Coconut Curry Soup
After Thanksgiving (October in Canada), I had a lot of left-over turkey. After trying turkey 10 different ways, I started searching out some interesting turkey recipes that would not require a lot of potatoes and other starchy vegetables. I was so happy when I stumbled upon this recipe and then adapted it to my taste buds.
