Easy Turkey and Noodle Soup Using Leftovers
This homemade turkey soup is perfect for using up your leftover Thanksgiving turkey, be it roast turkey or slow cooker turkey breast. You know you have some. (Or maybe you have a ton like I did.) Most years I plan for enough turkey for second helpings on the big day and plenty of leftovers on the days following, but this year I way overbought and had tons of leftover turkey. Turkey soup to the rescue! This turkey noodle soup is hearty, comforting, and full of rich flavors. I used white breast meat because that’s what I had, but adding some dark is okay too. I added sage, rosemary, and thyme, which make the soup taste like Thanksgiving all over again. For my family who all love Thanksgiving, that’s a very good thing and they savored the soup!
