Turkey isn’t just for the holidays or cool months of Fall and Winter. This easy Crock Pot Turkey Soup recipe can be enjoyed all year long.
You can buy a turkey breast or frozen turkey all year long. What I like to do is stock my freezer with a few extra turkeys during the holidays when they go on sale. But during the rest of the year when I am craving turkey I will buy a whole frozen turkey breast to bake for the family.
What are some baked turkey substitutions for Turkey Soup recipes?
This Easy Crock Pot Turkey Soup recipe is a perfect way to use up left over turkey meat. If you don’t want to buy a frozen turkey when it seems like no one is baking a turkey during the other 10 months of the year you can buy thick sliced turkey breast from the deli to make this Crock Pot Turkey Soup recipe. You’ll need about 2 lbs of deli turkey meat.
Or you could substitute turkey sausage for the left over baked turkey meat in this slow cooker turkey soup recipe.
Or you could use left over cooked chicken meat since that is readily available easier than turkey.
