Speaking of nutritional benefits…turkey is a great lean protein source, rich in B vitamins and choline. I used turkey breast cutlets in this soup recipe because they are easy to find, absorb so much flavor, and shred well into the soup.

I may be biased, but I must say that this recipe is the bomb dot com and shows off the incredible flavors and textures that turkey has to offer.

    I’ve been wanting to make a version of wild rice soup for ages, and the addition of turkey makes it so fulfilling!

    This soup looks like major comfort food. I get tired of chicken noodle so this will do the trick!

    Looks so cozy! Can I ask where your background is from? Did you make it order it. I need to get some new ones but I’m pretty lazy for making them…even though I have some wood ready to go. But I was just going to purchase a few from Woodville..just wondering about yours, it looks great!
