Instructions

Pour the turkey bone broth into a large pot. If you don’t have pre-made broth, you can make your own from leftover turkey or use chicken broth.
Add the drained diced tomatoes, chopped turkey, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and uncooked wild rice. Stir well to combine.
Mix in Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, poultry seasoning, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the pot and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, remove the lid and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Discard the bay leaves. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm.

Notes

Swap wild rice for brown rice, quinoa, or barley for a different texture.

Add other vegetables like green beans, peas, or corn for extra flavor.

For a spicier soup, include a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

Use leftover rotisserie chicken if turkey isn’t available.

Blend half the soup for a creamy texture while keeping some chunky pieces.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
