Make the most of your leftover smoked turkey after the holidays by making this tasty and simple Slow Cooked Smoked Turkey Tomato Soup. This filling dish not only springs new life into the leftovers of your Christmas feast, but it also has the healthful richness of turkey and tomatoes, making it a filling and healthy dinner.
Making This Delicious Tomato Based Turkey Soup
Set a saucepan or your multicooker on medium heat to begin with. Add diced celery, carrot, and onion, and toss with two tablespoons of olive oil. Allow to simmer for 3–4 minutes, or until fragrant. Add a tablespoon of dried rosemary or any other preferred dry herb and continue cooking for an additional minute.
How This Turkey and Tomato Soup Recipe Stands Out
The main attraction now is your smoked turkey leftovers. Add one and a half pounds of your delicious turkey, with the bones if you want additional taste. Add six ounces of no-sodium tomato paste, two bay leaves, four cups of low-sodium chicken broth, a can of diced tomatoes, and a can of white beans. Allow everything to gently cook and blend for 6-8 hours on low or 4–6 hours on high. If you are pressed for time, use the pressure cooker setting for just one hour on medium heat.
Use forks to shred the turkey as it becomes soft. It should be so delicate that it practically falls apart. Add the white beans and tomato paste and stir. Allow everything to simmer on low heat for a further 15 to 20 minutes so that the flavors can get the chance to know each other even further.
After adding some fresh basil to the final product, you are ready to have a hearty bowl of Slow Cooked Smoked Turkey Tomato Soup. Aside from its delicious flavor, this soup keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When reheating, just make sure that you reach the temperature of 165°F. Store any excess in the freezer if you have more than you can eat in three days. For your next dinner, be sure to thaw it in the refrigerator the night before.
Preserving Tomato Turkey Soup
This soup is a great way to use up leftovers as well as having some added health benefits. Tomatoes are a great source of antioxidants and vitamins, while turkey is a great supply of lean protein. They work as a powerful combination for your well-being. Warm and cozy Slow Cooked Smoked Turkey Tomato Soup will not only please your palate but also provide your body a healthy, nourishing experience. Thus, instead of letting those leftovers from the holidays go to waste, use them to make something genuinely enjoyable and healthy for you.

Slow cook for 6 – 8 hours on low, 4 – 6 hours on high or 1 hour for the pressure cooker with medium heat.
