• Whisk flour and the half-and-half together until smooth. Stir mixture slowly into the saucepan. Stir until slightly thickened, or until mixture reaches a chowder-like consistency. Add sriracha sauce, salt, and pepper, mixing well.

NEXT-DAY TURKEY SOUP WITH MASHED POTATO POLPETTI

Steps:

• Put the chicken broth, turkey, carrot halves, celery stalk, onion halves and 1 bay leaf in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil and then simmer, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Dice the turkey meat. Make sure the meat pieces are no larger than the size of a soupspoon. (If preparing the soup the next day, be sure to store leftover turkey meat in an airtight container before placing it in the refrigerator. Top with 1 or 2 ladles full of broth to keep the meat moist.)
• Before straining the broth, remove the large bones and carcass with tongs. Strain the broth through a sieve covered with wet cheesecloth. Discard the solids. Transfer the broth to a bowl set in a bath of ice water, which will cool the broth quickly and help keep it fresher longer. This can be done the night before and stored in the refrigerator until the next day.
• In a large soup pot, heat the garlic in the olive oil over medium heat. Allow to brown slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the minced carrots, celery and onions. Sweat over medium-low heat until softened, 7 or 8 minutes.
• Dice the leftover Thanksgiving vegetables. Add the sage to the soup pot along with the turkey broth and the remaining bay leaf. Bring to a simmer. When simmering, add the Brussels sprouts, green beans and diced turkey meat to the soup. Bring it back up to a simmer. Finally, add the sweet potatoes to the center and gently push them down. Turn the heat off and cover. Allow to sit and steam, 5 to 7 minutes. Let simmer for 5 more minutes and serve with the Mashed Potato Polpetti.
• Re-season the potatoes with salt and pepper. Stir in the cheese. Take a mayonnaise or peanut butter lid and line with plastic wrap to use as a mold. Pack the potato mixture into the lid, unwrap it and place the patty on a baking sheet. You may refrigerate them covered with plastic wrap until the next day, or fry immediately.
• To cook, dredge the patties in flour. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Just before frying, dredge the patties again with flour.
• Add the patties to the oil without crowding them (you may have to cook them in batches). Cook until the underside is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and brown the other side. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with leftover gravy. Makes 6 servings.

CREAMY TURKEY POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.
• Drain all but 3 tablespoons bacon drippings from pan.
• Over medium to medium-low heat, saute onion and garlic in bacon drippings until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
• Add chicken broth and mashed potatoes to the pan, stirring until potatoes are fully incorporated and no chunks remain. Stir in turkey, sage, and pepper.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add whipping cream. Cook about 3 minutes until heated through; do not allow to boil.
• Stir in crumbled bacon. Taste, and add up to 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste.
• Top individual servings with additional crumbled bacon, chopped fresh parsley, and/or chopped green onions, as desired.
• If you don't have leftover mashed potatoes, cook 3 medium-sized potatoes (about 1 pound in total) to use as the base of the soup. OPTION 1: BAKE - Wash potatoes and pierce several times with a fork. Bake at 400℉ for about 1 hour, or until fork-tender. OPTION 2: MICROWAVE - Place potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and cook for 7 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking. If they're not fork-tender after 7 minutes, microwave in 1 minute increments until done. Let baked or microwaved potatoes stand until cool enough to handle. Then cut in half lengthwise, scoop out the pulp, and use a fork to mash the pulp together with a tablespoon of butter, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a splash of milk. OPTION 3: BOIL - Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a saucepan and add water (or chicken broth) to just cover; add a couple pinches of salt to the water. Cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash together with a tablespoon of butter, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a splash of milk.
• The onions will turn brownish from the bacon drippings when sauteeing, which is fine. Just take care to not burn the onion in the hot drippings.
• The amount of salt needed will depend a lot on the saltiness of the bacon. There are times I've made this and not added any salt at all, and other times salting at the end of cooking is needed to brighten the flavors.
