This soup, adapted from The 150 Best American Recipes (and credited to Kathie Jenkins), turns leftover turkey into a satisfying meal-in-a-bowl. I love the earthy flavor of the combined rices and turkey, as well as the golden hue from the turmeric.

Turkey rice soup has become a tradition for us after Thanksgiving. We make the stock and then throw in most of the ingredients above -- although instead of turmeric I use lots or coriander, cumin, chili powder/flakes, and oregano. I usu. only add a cup of rice for a big stockpot since we eat on it for a few days. The rice keeps growing, and growing and growing....
Thanks to this recipe I’m going to try wild rice the next time. Maybe for Christmas...Thanks
