Easy Turkey Soup with Cabbage

This Easy Turkey Soup with cabbage and turmeric is the perfect way to use up leftover turkey! Naturally Gluten Free and Low Carb. This recipe developed in partnership with Pacific Foods.

Holy cow – Thanksgiving is THIS WEEK.

I’m not freaking out or anything (hiding face).

You guys – we are hosting this year. Well, we have been hosting almost every year but it’s been on the small side because we were living in the PNW (miss it like crazy!!).

This year, we are back in PA, where most of our family lives and we are having 15 people over for Thanksgiving dinner.

No big deal right? Except, I haven’t started shopping or prepping anything. But, I do plan to spend a good chunk of time tomorrow remedying this.

deep breath. deep breath. deep breath.

One thing I do have set in stone is a plan to use up the leftover turkey meat. I’m going to make this Easy Turkey Soup.

It’s loaded with cabbage, mushrooms, celery, onion, carrot, fresh thyme, parsley and that beautiful yellow color – that is from ground turmeric.

Did I mention that this gorgeous soup is also gluten free, dairy free, Whole 30 compatible and Low Carb?

YEP.

I partnered with my friends at Pacific Foods and used their Organic Turkey Bone Broth as the base. I highly recommend you make sure to have some on hand for basting, making homemade gravy and making all the Leftover Turkey soups, stews and chilis.

EASY TURKEY SOUP TIPS:

Here are some ways you can make this soup even easier. 

• When you are putting away the turkey, cube 1 lb of leftover meat (skinless and boneless breast, thigh, etc.). Put it in a container for the soup.
• No judgment — grab already diced onion, celery and carrot if you can find it at your local grocery store. Just make sure you get at least 1 cup of each.
• Same for the mushrooms. Most grocery stores sell already sliced mushrooms. Toss those in the cart!
• Last but not least, grab a bag of already shredded green cabbage.
• You will literally save ALL of the prep time and get this soup up and cooking in 5 minutes.
