Okay. that's more what I think of as a bone-in ham than a ham bone. Bv)=

Waste not, want not.

Soup is one of my favourite things to use up leftovers (or plan-overs).
Place turkey cubes, celery, mushrooms, chicken broth,
and soy sauce in Crock-pot. Cover and cook on LOW 8 to
10 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 6 hours. Before serving,
mix lemon juice and cornstarch together, mix into soup.
Cover and cook on HIGH 20 to 30 minutes.

* Soy sauce does not necessarily make this a Chinese
dish. Or even Oriental, for that matter - UDD
