Units
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 8 cups turkey or chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
- 6 oz gluten-free noodles (such as rice noodles or gluten-free egg noodles)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
- Add broth and seasonings: Pour in the turkey broth, then stir in thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Add turkey and noodles: Stir in the cooked turkey and gluten-free noodles. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
- Finish with lemon juice & garnish: Stir in the lemon juice (if using) and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy with gluten-free crackers or bread!
Notes
- Broth tip: If using store-bought broth, check that it’s labeled gluten-free.
- Best gluten-free noodles: Rice noodles, chickpea pasta, or gluten-free egg noodles work well.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. If making ahead, cook the noodles separately and add them before serving to prevent them from getting mushy.
- Freeze it! Freeze without noodles for up to 3 months, then add fresh noodles when reheating.
