Notes

Ingredient Note:
Leftover turkey (dark meat and light): Use any leftover turkey that you have. It can be shredded or chopped into pieces.
Turkey Bone Broth: If you have tome to make turkey broth it will add so much to this soup. If not a good chicken stock or vegetable stock is also a great option.
Egg Noodles: Rice can also be used in place of egg noodles. Just add in the end and cook until the rice is soft.
