I love these Low-Carb Turkey Soup Recipes, and one of my favorite day-after Thanksgiving traditions is making turkey soup! I start by simmering the turkey carcass with veggies and some Penzey’s Turkey Soup Base to make homemade turkey stock, and then turning that stock into delicious turkey soup!

Your house will smell amazing while the turkey stock simmers, and turkey soup is so satisfying! So today I’m reminding you of these low-carb turkey soup options just in case you have some leftover turkey. Or try some of these tasty soup recipes with chicken if you don’t have any turkey.

Turkey Soup or Chicken Soup?

Any soup recipe made with diced chicken or ground turkey can also be made with leftover turkey, so I’m including some of those in this collection of favorite soups. For the recipes that use cooked chicken, just switch that out for leftover turkey (and use homemade Turkey Stock if you have some) For the soups with ground turkey, check the recipe to see how to substitute.
