This recipe is great for that day after you have decided that you are 3 pounds heaver from Thanksgiving but crap if you don’t still have a pound of turkey left. I got this from the Cooking Light recipe site and I really didn’t modify the recipe much at all.
Cooking spray/Butter
1 cup slices carrot
3/4 cup chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup slices celery
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups (3 ounces) uncooked egg noodles
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 bay leaf
2 cups shredded turkey (about 8 ounces)
– Heat a large saucepan coated in cooking spray over medium-high heat.
– Add carrot, onion, and garlic and sauté 5 minutes or until onion is lightly browned.
– Add celery, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and sauté 3 minutes.
– Add broth, egg noodles, soy sauce and bay leaf and bring to a boil.
– Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes.
– Add shredded turkey and cook another 3 minutes.
– Discard bay leaf.
Linda’s Notes:
– This was a really good soup! I didn’t have a bay leaf so I left that ingredient out.
– I found that this was a great way to use the dark meat and not be put off by the greasiness
