Healing Turkey Noodle Soup
Another great way to use up turkey leftovers is into a nourishing wholesome soup. Adding homemade bone broth, turmeric, and fresh herbs, makes this soup gut-healing and anti-inflammatory. Enjoy it on a cool winter night, after a day of skiing, snowshoeing, skating or hiking.
