Turkey
Turkey is packed with lean protein that keeps you full and satisfied. It's loaded with B vitamins for steady energy and selenium to support your immune system. Plus, it's naturally lower in saturated fat than many other meats!
Carrots, Celery, Onions
Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A for healthy vision and glowing skin. Celery is surprisingly hydrating and packed with antioxidants that help fight inflammation throughout your body. Onions contain powerful compounds called quercetin that support heart health and may help boost your immune system.
Chicken Broth
Chicken broth is hydrating and packed with electrolytes for proper fluid balance. It contains collagen and amino acids that may support joint health and skin. Plus, it's low in calories while providing immune-boosting comfort when you need it most.

How to Make it Step by Step
1. Gather Ingredients
You will need leftover turkey and gravy for this soup! You will also need a variety of veggies including onions, celery and carrots. The spices include garlic, thyme, parsley, paprika, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Chicken broth will be combined with water and gravy for the base.
2. Cook Gravy and Turkey
If you don’t have leftover gravy, go ahead and add water and gravy powder to a pot and cook for 2 minutes, stirring until thick. Pour into a bowl and set aside for later.
The turkey should already be cooked, but we are going for a roasted crisp outer layer. Cook the turkey in 2 tablespoons of butter over high heat for 5 minutes, until the edges begin to char. Remove the turkey from the pot and set aside for later.
3. Cook Onions
Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the pot, add onions, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, paprika, and parsley, and cook covered until onions turn translucent, about 5-10 minutes.
4. Cook Butter-Flour Roux
Add carrots, celery and cook covered for 5 minutes. Then add flour and brown sugar and cook until it turns pasty, around 1 minute.
5. Put It All Together
Add turkey, gravy, chicken broth, and water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer covered for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, let cool for 15 minutes, and then add milk and stir.
6. Serve!
Serve 1-cup servings over mashed potatoes with a side of buttery rolls. Add some leftover stuffing to the soup or serve with cranberry sauce on the side to make it a true Thanksgiving feast!
Storage (Because You’ll Want Leftovers)
This soup stores well, which makes it practical for meal prep. After cooling completely, it keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days. The flavors develop and improve overnight.
For longer storage, it freezes well for up to 3 months. I portion it into individual containers so I can thaw single servings as needed. Just thaw overnight in the fridge, then gently reheat on the stovetop with a stir to restore the smooth texture. It reheats nicely and maintains its quality.
