Notes
- Ingredients --
- Tips --
- Use your leftover Thanksgiving turkey or a leftover rotisserie chicken for this recipe.
- Use any kind of very thin long pasta or fine noodles.
- If you don't care for cilantro, just leave it out or substitute a little fresh basil.
- I recommend sriracha for this recipe.
- If you use yellow onions and leave the skins on them, you'll get a beautiful golden broth!
- Make this into a chicken noodle bowl if you have leftover rotisserie chicken bones.
- If you don’t want to take time to make the broth, you can always toss your leftover turkey in the freezer and keep it for up to three months. This is a great thing to make when it’s cold and miserable later in the winter.
- Use unflavored ramen noodles in place of pasta.
- Add spinach or bok choy to the bowl with the noodles and broth.
