Four stars as written, five with modifications. I added an additional two cans of chicken broth and packaged dry (not frozen) egg noodles. When using unfrozen noodles you don't need to simmer them for 20 minutes. I followed the directions on the package which said to boil for 5-7 minutes and mine came out perfectly. When finished, I tasted the soup and it was too bland for my taste. I added about a teaspoon (maybe more) each of garlic powder, dried basil and dried oregano, as well as about a half a teaspoon of black pepper. It was delicious! Perfect for that someone with a cold.

This is a great recipe to use with leftover turkey. I substituted packaged egg noodles for frozen and ommitted the peas. I also used chicken broth with roasted garlic to add some extra flavor, because it did sound a little bland. This is definitely a keeper!

Wonderful recipes for left over turkey. I used the carcass to make the turkey broth the day before, skimming the fat off today. Added all the other ingredients and left simmer most of the day. Added one packet of the gravy mix, 1 tsp of rosemary and 1 tsp of thyme. Cook the noodles separately so they don't get too mushy. It should be wonderful tomorrow as left overs.

This is almost EXACTLY how my father in law made his Turkey Noodles. What he did differently is cook down marked-down turkey parts in water (or the whole Thanksgiving turkey carcass in water) until all the meat was falling off the bone. He then used the broth and the meat to make the "soup", only adding bay leaves, garlic and the leftover gravy from Thanksgiving PLUS the packet of gravy mix. I also cook the turkey innards with the turkey carcass. That along with the gravy mix adds a ton of flavor. After making this on my own for almost four years now, I agree with my husband that this has got to be one of the most comforting soups/dishes I've ever had. This is wonderful for your holiday sicknesses. This recipe bends well to modifications and whatever you may want to add. NOTE: If you want to make this less greasy, after you boil the turkey parts, chill the broth to cool and skim off the fat before re-warming. You can also use ice cubes to get the fat to rise but you risk watering down your broth.

I found this when looking for a recipe to use the leftover Thanksgiving turkey. It was great, we all enjoyed it very much. Only thing I did different was using packaged egg noodles instead of frozen. Thank you for submitting this recipe!

I made this yesterday with my leftover Chrismas Day turkey. The only thing that I did different was to exchange the peas for 1 can of sweet corn, drained, and I also used dry egg noodles. I added a little bit of the left over turkey drippings from the bottom of the roasting pan. My son ate 3 times! Easy and delicious recipe!

Great for Thanksgiving left overs, very easy. I used dried egg noodles, instead of frozen and needed 3 cans of chicken broth.

This is great! Do add another can of broth, however. The gravy mix adds a wonderful flavor and consistency. I have made this with leftover turkey, and it was great. Then, I made turkey broth with the Thanksgiving turkey carcass and added three teaspoons of chicken base to it. I have used both frozen and dried noodles. It still turns out great! Serve with fresh rye or pumpernickel rolls. I have recommended this soup to many people; everyone likes it.

I was a little hesitant to make this because I thought it might be bland - but it was delicious! What a great way to use leftover turkey! Mine turned out a little thick - perhaps because I used dry noodles instead of frozen. Next time I might add a little more chicken stock and water.

Used what I had on hand which was carrots and turkey so it didn't look as pretty and green as the picture but it was good. I used some leftover gravy from Thanksgiving too, instead of the mix. Pretty good!
