Thai-Style Turkey Noodle Soup (slow cooker)

This dish tastes like Thanksgiving in Thailand.  The original recipe used raw chicken breast sauteed and added to the rest of the ingredients at the beginning.  I had a lot of leftover turkey and was tired of the standard options, so I adapted the recipe.  Oddly, I’ve cut down on the spicy heat in this recipe.  It was just too much, even though I like heat.  This is a simple recipe to make, despite the number of ingredients.

Thai-Style Turkey Noodle Soup

5 cups chicken broth (if you buy it, organic broth is more flavorful and less salty)

1 cup white wine (dry or semi-sweet)

1 cup water

1 onion, chopped

3-4 green onions, chopped

2-3 cloves garlic, chopped

4 large carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces

4 large stalks celery, cut into 1 inch pieces (include leaves)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon curry powder

1 tsp tablespoon dried sage

1 tsp poultry seasoning

1/2 tablespoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

2-3 cups chopped cooked turkey

1 chopped red chili pepper

6 oz. Pad Thai rice noodles

In a slow cooker on low heat, combine chicken broth, wine, water, onion, green onion, garlic, carrots, celery, salt, black pepper, curry, sage, poultry seasoning, oregano, cayenne. and olive oil.

Cook soup 8 hours on low or 5 hours on high.

About halfway through the cooking time, stir in the turkey and chili pepper. 15 minutes before serving, stir in the noodles.

    If one did not want to use meat, any thought on which lentils or beans might play nice instead?
