My favorite way to enjoy leftover turkey is to use it in soup. I make all kinds of soup, but this is one of my favorites. It's pretty much a meal in itself. Of course, this soup works equally well with leftover roast chicken.
Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 1 large stalk celery, halved lengthwise, then sliced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 tsp salt-free poultry seasoning

Preparation:
Heat oil on medium heat in a Dutch oven or soup pot. Add onions, celery, and carrots and sauté until onions are softened. Stir in seasoning and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
