Stove Top Instructions
Heat olive oil over medium heat and then add in carrots and celery. Saute until softening and slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add broth and allow soup to come to a boil then reduce heat and simmer on medium low for about 15 minutes.
Add in noodles and cook for 10 minutes or until the noodles are al dente. Stir in chopped turkey and heat until warmed through.
Stir in Greek yogurt and then top with chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
If the meat is already cooked it is very important to add the meat last and only allow it to simmer until heated through. Since it is already cooked it will dry out quickly if left to simmer too long.
Freezer: Store in quart-sized freezer-safe soup containers for up to 3 months.
Leftovers: Add in up to 1 additional quart of chicken broth when storing leftovers as the noodles tend to suck up much of the broth. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Reheat: Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through.
Paleo: Swap noodles for potatoes and omit Greek yogurt for a paleo version that is dairy-free.
