Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 2 large carrot peeled and chopped
  • 1 large turnip peeled and diced
  • 2 talks celery chopped
  • 1 large parsnip peeled and chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 prigs thyme fresh
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary fresh
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste, sea salt
  • 4 to 8 cups turkey broth or chicken broth*
  • 2 to 4 cups turkey chopped, cooked leftover

Instructions

  1. Add the first six ingredients (oil through celery) to a large stock pot or Dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Sauté, stirring occasionally for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, salt, and herbs and continue sauteeing for 2 minutes.
  3. Pour in the broth and leftover turkey and bring soup to a full boil. Reduce heat, cover the pot, and cook at a very gentle boil for 20 minutes, or until vegetables are cooked through.
  4. Serve heaping bowls and enjoy!

Notes

  • *Add broth to your desired consistency. I like hearty soups with less broth, so I use 4 cups of broth. For soupier soups, add more broth to your liking. You can also use any kind of homemade or store-bought stock or broth you like! I always recommend sticking with homemade turkey bone broth.
