Turkey Pot Pie Soup
Leftover turkey is delicious in turkey pot pie, so I thought why not use it to make turkey pot pie soup?
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and didn’t do too much damage to your waistline.
I spent Thanksgiving at my Mom’s house, she wouldn’t have it any other way. She makes Thanksgiving look effortless, but we all brought some dishes along to contribute. I made a cauliflower gratin which turned out great, I’ll be posting that soon.
And what to do with your leftover turkey? A turkey pot pie soup is comforting and a great way to use your leftover turkey. I made my own turkey stock from the turkey bones and some vegetables, but you can use canned, or even chicken broth. I took some extra pie crust I had and cut out shapes with a cookie cutter, then baked them to make little pie crust croutons, completely optional but I loved it.

My favorite meal to make with leftover Turkey. It’s so flavorful and customizable. This year I used a sweet potato instead of white potatoes, no mushrooms and added extra celery to use it up.Â
Has anyone made this in a crockpot?
I love this soup. Great flavour and freezes well. Pure comfort food.
Thanks for the recipe.

I shared this once the first time I made it and now I literally TRIPLE the recipe every time because I gift it to more and more people. Everyone loves it and I have to share the recipe. This soup is amazing, feels sinfully delicious and is so easy to make! It is definitely in my “favorites” section of my printed recipes cookbook. I don’t print many recipes, but when I do it’s a keeper for sure! I don’t sub anything other than to use Costco’s Kirkland Signature Turkey Breast (I weigh out the correct ounces needed then dice it) and it tastes like I’m using turkey from Thanksgiving every time.
Glad you enjoy it Kim!
I made this again tonight and I forgot the one thing I do differently…. I add the potatoes earlier than you say to in the recipe. It seems no matter how small I dice them (usually a tad larger than cubed hash brown size) they take a while to cook and makes the other veggies a tad softer than I’d prefer. Still LOVE this recipe though!!
Could you make this in a slow cooker?
This is absolutely delish!! I made it with almond milk. I would make sure it was the unsweetened almond milk next time but will definitely make this again.Â
