Leftover Turkey Spinach Noodle Soup
Description
Leftover Turkey Spinach Noodle Soup features diced onions, garlic, celery, and carrots sautéed in olive oil as a flavor base. The addition of dried thyme, oregano, celery salt, and black pepper layers gentle herbaceous notes over rich turkey stock. Cubed leftover turkey and egg noodles are simmered together until the noodles are tender, while fresh baby spinach leaves are stirred in near the end with lemon juice and zest. This delivers a bright contrast to the savory broth with a tender noodle bite and leafy greens. The soup is a practical way to extend leftover turkey with simple, wholesome ingredients to create a filling, warming meal.
