Turkey Noodle Soup

It's that time of year when I start thinking about meals that are a bit heavier. I live in Illinois where the winters can be a bit  real cold. So we begin to think about large meals like turkey and dressing and then my mind turns to how to fix the left overs that are always present. Well here is a great recipe for using turkey leftovers in a subtle supper recipe



Cooking spray

1 cup (1/4-inch-thick) slices carrot
3/4 cup chopped onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup (1/4-inch-thick) slices celery
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 cups (3 ounces) uncooked egg noodles
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 bay leaf
2 cups shredded turkey (about 8 ounces)
Coarsely ground black pepper (optional)

Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add carrot, onion, and garlic; sauté 5 minutes or until onion is lightly browned. Add celery, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; sauté 3 minutes. Add broth and next 3 ingredients (through bay leaf); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Add shredded turkey; cook 3 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Sprinkle with coarsely ground black pepper, if desired

  1. this would be great to try since now I'm a ground turkey fan and I'm trying to leave certain food alone for good.
