Do you have leftover turkey you need to use? Then this recipe for Leftover Turkey Soup with Rice is just what you need! If you have chicken sitting around you can use that as well. But this soup is amazing with turkey! I find that rice holds up better than gluten-free noodles, I love using my own rice for home-made soup. It just seems the rice in canned soup doesn’t even taste like rice.

(Tempting Tuesday’s Recipe: Turkey or Chicken Soup with Rice) I am going to be making a good hearty turkey rice soup today for my husband and I to have for dinner tonight. It’s great for a cold day like today-
Good recipe to try with leftover turkey! 🙂 Will bookmark this page for future reference!
i think i’ll try it
I agree that rice is much better than noodles. However, I use organic brown rice mixed with some wild rice, and because I try not to eat meat, I will use veggie broth cubes and fake chicken. Great lunch for my hubby for today!
