6 cups turkey broth (homemade or store-bought)
3 to 4 cups cooked shredded turkey
1 1/2 cups diced potatoes or cooked noodles
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for serving
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened.
2. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the turkey broth along with thyme, parsley, and bay leaf; bring to a gentle boil.
4. Add shredded turkey and potatoes (or noodles), then reduce heat to a simmer.
5. Cook for 20–25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and flavors meld.
6. Remove the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
If using leftover turkey bones, simmer them first for 1–2 hours to make a richer homemade stock.
Add noodles during the last 10 minutes of cooking to prevent over-softening.
