There may be no better way to use up leftover turkey than to make up a batch of turkey soup. But don't think you're limited to soups where the dominant flavor is broth. This non-traditional recipe is loaded in antioxidant content, high in protein, and packs plenty of fiber. Sprinkle some cumin, chipotle, or chili pepper in while it's cooking, and your house will smell as good as the soup tastes!
