Sarah’s Spicy Curry Turkey Soup

Courtesy of USDA MyPlate

This turkey curry soup is a fun and flavorful dish to make with turkey dinner leftovers. You can use your leftover cranberry sauce to garnish the soup. A spoonful of cranberry sauce or chutney adds a cooling sweet, tangy flavor to balance the spicy curry. - Sarah, MyPlate Nutritionist
