This simple, flavorful soup is the perfect dish for using up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. It’s also wonderful with any soup-able leftover protein: chicken, beans, or extra firm tofu would all work as substitutes for turkey.

  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (14 oz.) can low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ tsp. marjoram
  • ½ tsp. thyme
  • Cayenne to taste
  • 2 cups chopped cooked turkey

  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 cups skim milk
