Turkey Soup Recipe
Description
This Turkey Soup Recipe begins by sautéing onions and garlic in olive oil to build a flavorful base. Flour is added to form a light roux which thickens the soup slightly. Carrots, celery, red bell pepper (optional), and diced leftover turkey meat join the pot along with turkey or chicken broth. Seasonings like poultry seasoning, dried Italian herbs, parsley, bay leaves, salt, and pepper deepen the flavor.
Once the broth has simmered to meld the components, fusilli pasta is cooked directly in the soup until tender, offering a substantial texture alongside the tender turkey and softened vegetables. The bay leaves are removed before serving, with fresh parsley added for brightness.
This soup delivers a balance of savory turkey flavor and fresh vegetable notes with a comforting broth consistency. It's practical for using turkey leftovers and provides a warm meal option that pairs well with bread or a simple salad.
