Lemon Turkey Noodle Soup is the perfect solution to leftover turkey or chicken.  Comfort food at it’s finest.

Lemon Turkey Noodle Soup

Tomorrow is the big day – Thanksgiving!   Are you ready.  We are celebrating in Utah this year with family and I am so excited to spend time with some of my kids!  I love spending the holiday with family and not having to do all the cooking.  The only downside is that when we get home there are no leftovers.  I have actually been known to cook a turkey when I get home just so I’ll have leftovers!

Lemon Turkey Noodle Soup

A good old turkey sandwich is always a great use of leftovers but I prefer soup.    And today’s recipe for Lemon Turkey Noodle Soup is perfect.  It is flavorful and has lots of veggies in it so after all that food you ate on Thanksgiving (i.e.  pie) it’s a great way to eat a little lighter and healthier.

Lemon Turkey Noodle Soup

Use fresh lemon juice in this soup to give it a nice light, fresh taste.  Also like to cook my pasta separately and then add it in when I serve the soup instead of boiling it in the soup and letting it sit in the broth for too long and get mushy.

Lemon Turkey Noodle Soup

I place chopped up spinach in the bottom of the bowl first and then pour the soup over the spinach.  That way the spinach doesn’t get too soggy.  If you have a few leftover rolls from Thanksgiving, that along with a bowl of this lemon turkey noodle soup is the perfect dinner.  Comfort food at it’s finest.  And then of course, some leftover pie for dessert.  Or you could make yourself a pumpkin pie milkshake.
