My Favorite Use For Leftover Turkey

If you’re staring down a fridge full of Thanksgiving leftovers, this turkey tortilla soup is hands-down my favorite way to enjoy leftover turkey. ♡

This recipe is a turkey twist on my longtime favorite sopa azteca, featuring crispy tortilla strips and the most delicious tomato-chile broth. (I always joke that I could drink a mug full of this broth each day instead of coffee, I honestly love it so much.) Its rich and smoky chile flavor tastes like it has simmered all day, but the whole soup actually comes together surprisingly quickly.

If you have an extra 5 minutes, I highly highly recommend frying your own tortilla strips to layer in, which add the best texture and flavor to each bite. But if you’re in a pinch, crumbled tortilla chips work great too. Load it up with all of your favorite toppings and enjoy! I know you’re going to love this one!
