Notes

  • If you do not have leftover rice, add 1/2 cup uncooked white rice with the broth and cook until tender, adding about 15 minutes to the cook time.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute 2 cups of the turkey broth with homemade turkey carcass broth.
  • You can substitute noodles or small pasta shapes for the rice if desired.
