Believe me, if you think you’re tired of reading about my turkey, I’m tired of writing about it. This post will wrap it up for good. As much as I have always loved the Thanksgiving turkey, other than the occasional bbq turkey leg, I have rarely cooked it other than for that beloved holiday. Frankly the best thing about having turkey around is 1) for a sandwich and 2) for soup.
I like to keep my soup simple – just a few ingredients: celery, carrot, noodles, and a few mushrooms (and of course the title ingredient).
Turkey soup
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
½ medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 medium carrot, ½” pieces
1 stalk celery, ½” pieces
4 button mushrooms, ½” pieces
3-4 cups poultry stock
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups cooked turkey, ½” cubes
poultry seasoning, to taste (optional)

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large sauté pan. Add onion and garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add carrot, celery, mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Add the stock and some salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Cook slowly until carrots are tender.

I made a turkey soup out of the leftovers last year. It was good.. quite a bit like yours. Can't believe how many dishes you got out of it though...well worth whatever you paid for it. Turkey, the food that keeps on giving! :)
