Anyone else look forward to the turkey leftovers more than the actual turkey? Guilty, over here.

Ingredients Needed

stock, celery, onion, ,lemon, spinach, noodles, cubed turkey, oregano, thyme, celery salt, carrots

Think of a classic noodle soup, but with leftover, from scratch, post big holiday meal healthy twist!

  • Leftover Turkey - You could also substitute leftover chicken!
  • Turkey Stock - One of my favorite parts of making a turkey is making a deliciously rich, stock, just like how we make our Chicken Stock and Vegetable Stock.
  • Carrots and Celery - Classic noodle soup vegetables, but you could also substitute mushrooms, corn, or peas.
  • Onion and Garlic - Staples in pretty much all of our recipes.
  • Egg Noodles - Or your other favorite noodle or even orzo!
  • Dried Thyme, Dried Oregano, Celery Salt, and Bay Leaves - You could also substitute fresh thyme and oregano. See recipe notes.
  • Lemon and Lemon Zest - This adds such a delightful brightness! And with a Lemon Zester, it's a breeze.
  • Olive Oil, Salt, and Pepper
