    Easy Leftover Turkey Soup Recipe - GF Video

    After making a deep fried turkey, make this easy leftover turkey soup recipe the next day. Watch our video to learn how.

    My turkey soup recipe, A few thoughts:

    • Use what you got, in other words, if you don't have carrots, use potatoes.
    • Celery and Onion are key, and you should keep celery in the fridge anyway.
    • This cooks down in about an hour.

    Easy Turkey Soup Recipe

    I can't say I invented this Thanksgiving leftovers recipe, but it seemed like an obvious thing to do the day after the big holiday meal. But you can do this anytime you deep fry a turkey, and I think we all should cook turkey a lot more. Its a huge amount of food for the price of a turkey. BTW, you can also roast a turkey in the oven, if that's your thing. We did a video about that here.

    Easy Turkey Soup Recipe

    One GF fan suggested cooking down the soup in one of those pasta pots that have a strainer insert. You could cook the vegetables in the pot, then put in the strainer and add in the turkey parts. That way you could pull out all the bones at once, then separate the meat, and boom you are done.

    It helps to use an oversized pasta pot for this turkey soup recipe. The pot I used had turkey and stock up to the rim and it made it easy to spill. I have about 3 pasta pots in the basement, but I blanked on that when cooking this. Note to self.

    Keep in mind that if you put in a lot of celery, that flavor will be more pronounced after a night in the fridge. The second time we heated up the soup for dinner, you could really taste the celery above the carrots. But I love celery so that was ok with me.

      I enjoyed your turkey soup video. On Thanksgiving evening I take the turkey bones and put them in a big soup pot with water and any left over juices from the pan not used for making gravy. I add water and a couple of onions (skin on just cut in quarters with the root end removed if dirty), Carrots and celery (French term mirepoix). I put this pot in the oven over night at 250 degrees. The next morning I strain this liquid gold and use that to make soup with fresh mirepoix and left over turkey. I add in some gravy to make it richer if needed and make noodles or rice for the starch.
