Chunky Turkey Vegetable Soup
It's been 25 years since I cut this recipe out of a newspaper, and I've made it countless times since then. We like it so well that I always boil the leftover turkey bones and freeze the broth with turkey meat in quart containers, so it's available whenever I want to make soup.2 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 25 min.
