Tasty. Easy. Hearty. My husband added a few drops of hot sauce to bring out the Southwestern taste. Best use of left over turkey.

Excellent recipe. Just the right amount of spice. My wife will add a dollop of sour cream next time to cut the heat a bit. Will definitely make it again!

Simple and delicious use of turkey dinner leftovers. We didn't have taco seasoning, but I found a great recipe for that in the site, too.

So good!!! I didn't have turkey broth so I used 3 cans of chicken broth and a few dashes of tobasco. Also put in extra leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and a can of white beans.

This is a great recipe to use up Thanksgiving turkey leftovers. It could also be a quick weeknight meal. I omitted the green chilies and it was perfect for my kids. Husband loved it, too.

Sooo good! I added extra turkey for a hearty soup.

Found it a bit on the salty side. Next time I'll use 3/4 of the taco seasoning. If you like spicy, have your hot sauce ready to go! This is delicious with an extra kick. Enjoy!
