We sometimes eat too much at holiday meals. Cutting back from the extra calories doesn't need to be painful. While tasting good, this recipe will warm, nourish and fill you -- but with fewer calories.

Ingredients:

Turkey carcass, drumsticks, wings, extra meat
1 teaspoon each of crushed tarragon, basil and sage leaves
½ teaspoon pepper
1 cup uncooked wheat berries
2 - 3 cups chopped carrots
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped onion

Directions:

* Put the carcass and leftover meat in a stockpot with wheat berries, herbs and pepper, cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer, for 2 - 3 hours.

* Cool, skim off fat. Remove bones and skin. Save meat pieces; cube 2 - 3 cups for soup. If necessary, add water to make 2 quarts. Bring to a boil. Add carrots, celery, onion, 2 - 3 cups of cubed turkey.

* Add salt, if necessary.
