Asian Turkey Noodle Soup
Nov 28, 2015
The cold weather is here to stay, but that leftover turkey you have barely made a dent in needs to go soon!
Don’t toss it – You can freeze it or use it in a variety of recipes by swapping it in for chicken.
Any recipe that calls for boiled, shredded or rotisserie chicken, you can use the turkey instead. For example, Chicken and Wild Rice Soup can become Turkey and Wild Rice Soup!
Here is a recipe below to help you use up some of that leftover turkey!
