This leftover turkey soup is healthy and comforting. The broth is pretty flavorful even though it doesn’t take too long at all to make this soup. After a big Thanksgiving feast, the last thing you probably feel like doing is spending a lot of effort in the kitchen. 🙂

Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers! As a Canadian, we had ours back in October, but as a food blogger with a primarily American audience, it certainly feels like I celebrate it more than once haha.

This turkey noodle soup is made without the turkey carcass – I just used shredded turkey meat.

Carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and a bit of fresh parsley give this soup that familiar, comforting flavor. It’s like the classic chicken noodle soup we all love, except with turkey.

I think egg noodles are the best noodles for turkey noodle soup, but you could always use something different (e.g. whatever pasta you have on-hand) if you prefer.

You could add a splash of cream to this soup, but I didn’t find it necessary. Got leftover chicken? You could definitely use that instead if you wish.

This homemade turkey noodle soup is loaded with leftover Thanksgiving turkey and a flavorful broth. A quick and healthy from scratch soup.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 3 sticks celery chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups cooked turkey
  • 2 dashes Italian seasoning
  • 3 medium carrots sliced/chopped
  • 2 cups egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and sauté for 5-7 minutes.

  2. Add the garlic to the pot and cook for about 30 seconds.

  3. Add the broth, water, turkey, Italian seasoning, and carrots to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. 

  4. Add the egg noodles and reduce the heat so the soup is gently boiling. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the noodles and carrots are done. Stir in the parsley before serving. Season with salt & pepper as needed.

Recipe Notes

  • If you don't cut the carrots fairly small or you're using larger carrots, I suggest giving them a head start prior to adding in the egg noodles.

  • I published this creamy mushroom and spinach gnocchi recipe nearly 2 years ago, and I had no idea how it would take off. This recipe, by far, has the most positive comments out of any of the 579 posts on my blog. 😊 This recipe is made in one pan, takes less than 30 minutes, and turns store-bought gnocchi into something special. Meat eaters and vegetarians alike love it. Have you tried it yet? ⚡️
