Make the Turkey Soup Recipes with chicken if you don’t have leftover turkey!
Turkey and chicken are interchangeable in soup recipes! So if you have leftover turkey, you can use a recipe that calls for leftover chicken, and if you don’t have leftover turkey you can use leftover chicken instead. You can also substitute diced, cooked turkey in pretty much any recipe that calls for cooked ground turkey, but add the cooked turkey towards the end of the cooking time so it doesn’t all shred apart.

What a fabulous round up! Thank you for sharing my Southwestern Turkey Soup.

Kayln-I have a question. This is my first visit to the crock pot site and I am slightly confused. Are these supposed to be "diet friendly" recipes or only if they say so in the labels at the bottom? Looking at some of these I don't think they're obviously diet even though they all sure do look good!
Kalyn says
Susan, you can sort recipes by diet type by clicking Recipes by Photo and picking the type of diet you want. And the tagline "Healthier Recipes from Food Blogs" refers to the idea that these recipes don't contain processed foods, therefore they are "healthier" than many crockpot recipes out there. But definitely not every recipe is suitable for all diets.
Kalyn says
Thanks Jeanette. What I think I like most is the way it makes the house smell good!
Jeanette says
Love the idea of making soup with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, especially with the cold temperatures this week.
