Slow Cooker Turkey Soup or Turkey Noodles

Hi Sweet Friends,
Today, a crisp Spring day, we are making Slow Cooker Turkey Noodles.
Crock Pot/Slow Cooker
This is a very easy dinner that is truly delicious. This can be done on the stove top in a large pot. We tripple the recipe for guests! 

Roast Turkey can be used when making this soup or noodles.
*This can be made with a roasted turkey. Roast Turkey, chicken, garlic, onions, and potatoes at the same time to use the oven heat. I put them all in separate pans, this way they can be used for different meals throughout the week. Great for Whole 30 eating plan.

I use this large pot when I tripple the recipe for company!

Ingredients:
1 small Turkey, cut up. Skin removed. (The back, neck and organ meats can be put in a zip bag and frozen for later use.)
3 cups water
1 tsp thyme
1 Tbs poultry season
1 Tbs dried chopped onion
1/2 Cup dried celery/ 3 celery stalks, chopped small
2 Tbs parsley
2 bay leaves whole
*(Optional) 1 bag old fashioned egg noodles 
*(Optional) 3 carrots sliced
Cut up onions for the whole week. These are halved.

Slice onions for the week. Use 1 cup sliced onions in this recipe.

Peel and cut the carrots. (leave them whole if just for flavor) Cut enough for the week.

Cut up carrots go in Turkey Soup, Stir Fry, and as a quick snack. 
Chop celery into small bites. I cut up extra celery and put them in a freezer bag. I include the celery tops.
Directions:
Boil the turkey

Add all ingredients to the crock pot except the noodles. Cook on high for 6 hrs.(6-8 hrs)
Debone and remove skin. Or for a healthier pot of soup, remove the skin first before boiling.
After 6 hrs., remove turkey, debone and remove skin. Return meat to crock pot. (Add 1 bag of egg noodles and cook till done. 30 to 45 minutes). Add more boiled water if needed.
If you are making stock. Stop at this point and place into freezer bags. Lable the bag Turkey Broth.
Return all the turkey meat and veggies back to the pot with soup or Turkey Noodles.
Stir in the meat and veggies. This is ready to eat. If you want to add egg noodles, do it at this time. Bring the water to boil and cook according to the noodle package directions.

Serve with fresh hot bread and a side salad for a healthy dinner.
Enjoy!
