Turkey Noodle Soup

Thanksgiving is over… what a relief!… now what do you do with the leftovers 🙄?
 
If you are like me, you probably bought a big Turkey for Thanksgiving. You invited a large group over and even some relatives you haven’t seen for years and you still have a ton of meat leftover. Your husband and children know what’s for lunch this week as well as what’s on the menu for the next 2 or 3 dinners. That doesn’t mean you should feel bored about eating turkey 🦃 for a couple of days.
 
The beauty of leftover turkey is that you can make so many dishes with it and each of them doesn’t have to taste the same as the other. One dish that is quick & easy to make is Turkey Noodle Soup 🥣. Add some vegetables, a few spices, noodles, and you’ve got yourself a flavorful dish that everyone will enjoy.
 
Most of the time, October is pretty wet, gray and cold so there is nothing more comforting than eating a delicious bowl of soup. If you don’t feel like making a Turkey Noodle Soup with your leftovers, you can always try my Turkey Tetrazzini, Turkey Zucchini BoatsTurkey Chili Tex-Mex Style, Turkey à la King on Toast, Turkey or Chicken Pot Pie, Turkey Croquettes, Club Sandwich 🥪 or Monte Cristo Sandwich. You can always make this healthy Julienne Salad using turkey.
 
Back to the soup…
This is the best way to utilize your turkey leftovers. Not only is it economical but also quite yummy and good “for the soul” 🥰. This recipe can also use chicken instead of turkey. There are also some people that prefer using rice versus pasta… this is an option for you to decide on how you want to make your soup.
