Notes
- Chicken broth can be used in this recipe in case you don’t have any leftover turkey broth.
- If your turkey’s already pretty seasoned (like leftover roasted turkey), you might not need as much salt in the soup. Give it a taste after adding the turkey to make sure it’s not too salty.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
