Southwestern Turkey Soup #SoupSaturdaySwappers

Turn that leftover turkey into a completely different meal by combining it with the flavors of the Southwest.

We are starting with Leftovers today at Soup Saturday Swappers.......

My friend Karen of Karen's Kitchen Stories is hosting this month's edition of Soup Saturday Swappers.  Karen chose the theme "Starting with Leftovers".  Perfect for this time of year!

Soup Saturday Swappers is a group that gets together on the third Saturday of each month and shares a soup/stew recipe based on a theme chosen by one of our members.  All bloggers are welcome to join in the fun.  Just simply comment on this post or email me at wendyklik1517@gmail.com with your blog name and url and I will send you an invitation.

I often make soup with my leftover turkey carcass and have shared that recipe in the past. It is a very good recipe but I was happy when Karen chose this theme so I could step out of my turkey soup rut and make something different.  

This Southwestern soup is perfect. It changes up the flavors enough that you don't even realize you are eating leftovers.  

I also did something else different this year.  I made my turkey stock in the instant pot.  Amaaaaazing!!  I really do like my instant pot.  So you lucky folks get two recipes today for the price of one.

Let's start off with the Instant Pot turkey stock.......

Instant Pot Turkey Stock

Don't throw away that turkey carcass or those vegetable scraps. Put them into your Instant Pot and you will have a wonderful batch of turkey stock in no time.

prep time: 10 minscook time: 1 hourtotal time: 1 hours and 10 mins

ingredients:

1 meaty turkey carcass

1 stalk celery, washed and broken in half

1-2 carrots, washed and broken in half

1 bay leaf

peels and ends of one onion

salt and pepper, to taste

instructions

Break up the turkey carcass so that it fits into your Instant Pot.  I have the largest Instant Pot so I only had to break mine in half.

Add the celery, carrots, onion scraps, bay leaf, salt and pepper.  Add water to cover the ingredients being careful not to go past the maximum fill line of the Instant Pot.

Pressure cook on high for one hour using the manual setting.  Allow pressure to release naturally before opening the pot. 

Remove the carcass from the pot.  Remove all meat from carcass for use in another application.  This meat can be frozen until ready to use.

Strain the vegetables from the stock.  I ended up with 3 quarts of stock.  I used 2 quarts for my soup and froze the remaining quart for use in another application.
