Thanksgiving Leftovers: Turkey & Rice Soup

recipes
Written By Charlene

We made this soup from our Thanksgiving leftovers. I typically wouldn’t choose turkey as my protein of choice, but we had a ton of it left over after the holiday so why not make a delicious soup out of it. It turned out a lot better than I thought it would, so I thought this would be a nice recipe to share. I kind of just eye balled this but it’s very similar to my chicken noodle soup recipe except turkey and rice. It’s definitely a leaner, healthier option too.

 

INGREDIENTS

  • Shredded Turkey about 3 lb cooked

  • 4-6 Celery Stalks (depending on side) diced

  • 4-6 Carrots chopped

  • 1 Yellow onion finely diced

  • 1 Jalapeno finely diced- this does add some spice so if you don’t want any kick, don’t add

  • Sea Salt to taste about 1 tsp

  • Black Pepper to taste about 1 tsp

  • Jasmine Rice- I got a box which I think was 16oz

  • Chicken broth 16oz

  • Chicken Bone Broth 16oz

 

STEPS

In a large pot bring chicken broth, vegetables and spices to a boil. Add cooked turkey and return to a boil for 5 minutes. Bring down to a simmer for 20 minutes.
