Leftover Turkey Soup Recipe
The biggest cooking day of the year is over, and I bet you could use a weekend off from cooking. Yet, it seems there are always hungry mouths to feed, and about half of those mouths will turn up their noses to leftovers, even sacred Thanksgiving leftovers. So how do you use up your fridge full of food in a way no one will complain about? You make this Creamy Turkey Soup Recipe with smoky poblano peppers. This simple turkey soup recipe is so cozy, with mild smoky heat from the poblano peppers. I used up our leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, and even the orzo stuffing I made, in a unique and irresistible way. The mashed potatoes thicken the soup base, making it creamy and inviting. While the poblano peppers provide that extra something, that makes this soup seem like a completely different meal than Thanksgiving dinner. And since most of the ingredients are already cooked, it takes very little time and effort to prepare. Score! Now go relax while your soup simmers… You’ve earned it.
Ingredients
Want to make this quick zesty turkey soup recipe? Here’s what you’ll need…
Butter – To sauté the onions and poblano peppers. Onions – The underlying platform flavor of every soup. Poblano pepper – Seeded and chopped. Poblanos are usually mild, however, every once in a while, you’ll stumble across a hot one. I like to buy 2-3 so I have options. Garlic – Minced. To bring in zesty essence. Leftover mashed potatoes – This acts as the thickener in the soup base. Leftover turkey meat – You can you white or dark meat. Just chop it, and throw it in the pot. Chicken broth – Or turkey stock. Cooked orzo – For texture. Salt and pepper
