Turkey Noodle Soup from Roast Leftovers


  • Author: Leo Bennett
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

Six bowls of light leftover roast-turkey noodle soup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Cooked roast turkey, shredded
  • 8 cups Low-sodium turkey or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 medium onion Yellow onion, diced
  • 2 carrots Carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks Celery stalks, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 6 ounces Dry egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot. Soften one diced onion, two sliced carrots and two sliced celery stalks for about five minutes.
  2. Pour in 8 cups low-sodium broth and add 1/2 tsp thyme. Simmer until carrots begin to soften, then add 6 oz dry egg noodles and cook according to the package until tender.
  3. Stir in 3 cups properly stored, previously cooked shredded roast turkey. Simmer until turkey and the soup's reheated center reach 165°F; do not leave poultry warming gently below that endpoint.
  4. Turn off heat, stir in 1 tbsp lemon juice and ladle into six provisional bowls. Record noodle absorption and pot yield. If storing, cool promptly and consider keeping noodles separate for quality.

Notes

Recipe-development draft; not kitchen-tested. Timing and yield are estimates. Nutrition has not been calculated.

Untested estimate assumes roast turkey was already fully cooked and promptly chilled; stock-making and original roasting are not included.
