Default What to do with leftover turkey?

I have several recipes I like...Do you have any Recipes from Europe?

Actually I make turkey soup but don't really have a recipe...If it turns
out extra good I try that combo again.

Take the frame of the leftover turkey and remove most of the meat...Brown
up the frame in the oven with few veggies say several carrots broken into 3
pieces and a onion cut in half...maybe a parsnip and some celery and a head
of garlic.

Dump that in a pot with any juices or pan drippings and cover with
water....simmer for a while with a couple bay leaves and 10 black
peppercorns...Viola turkey stock!

strain and chuck the bones, spent veggies and spices.

Add fresh veggies and seasonings of choice...Say a diced medium carrot or 2
the center of a celery heart diced leaves and all, a diced onion and some
half cooked wild rice, maybe diced potatoes, peas or corn and the meat from
the turkey frame you removed before roasting...Simmer till veggies are
cooked to your liking ...Add sour cream and minced dill, stir well, adjust
flavour (needs salt?) and serve.

If you go with either the peas or corn add them late in the cooking
process...they'll be best added then.
