I always look forward to turkey leftovers after the holidays. I love making a big batch of homemade turkey noodle soup. Luckily, Mr. D and the girls love turkey noodle soup as much as I do because we eat it for days on end. To me there is nothing more comforting than a fresh bowl of homemade turkey soup.
I fondly remember my mom making homemade turkey noodle soup after the holidays. To be honest, the long process of making homemade turkey noodle soup used to always intimidate me. But it’s worth the effort, plus you have leftovers for days. You can easily substitute a roasted chicken for the turkey. I recommend using the reserved liquid from cooking the carcass for extra flavour but you can also use low sodium chicken stock. I like to add a lot of extra vegetables to my soup. I also added barley to make it heartier, you could also add wild rice. To finish I add a ton of fresh thyme and cracked pepper.
What’s your favorite way to use turkey leftovers?
