Use your Thanksgiving leftovers to make this deliciously flavorful Turkey Dinner Soup!Ā  Just add the ingredients to your slow cooker and you’ll soon have a ready meal that is guaranteed to please!
Made in the slow cooker (or stovetop if you prefer), this hearty soup is a breeze to make!Ā 

Nothing says comfort quite like a Thanksgiving feast with its combination of saucy, creamy, cheesy, sweet and savory flavors.Ā  Most of us have family favorites that we can’t imagine not including on our Thanksgiving table, but probably most would agree that turkey, stuffing, cranberries and potatoes are standard “must-include’s”.

This recipe for Creamy Turkey Dinner soup features all of those favorite ingredients and the slow cooker makes this meal virtually effortless!Ā 

Creamy Turkey Dinner Soup

Let’s get started!

Add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker except for the milk, flour and stuffing.Ā  Cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.

During the last 20-30 minutes of cooking, make a slurry by dissolving the flour in the milk until no lumps remain.Ā  Stir the slurry into soup and stir.Ā  Then add the stuffing and the additional cranberries (the already cooked cranberries will contribute flavor to the soup but will have lost most of their color).Ā  Cook for another 20-30 minutes until the stuffing is soft and the soup is thickened.Ā  Add salt and pepper to taste.Ā 

Serve immediately sprinkled with cheddar cheese if desired. The stuffing will continue to expand so the soup will get thicker the longer it sits.Ā  If eating leftovers, add some more milk when reheating to thin it out.

Enjoy!

    I can’t wait to try this. Does anyone have an idea of how long to do the initial cooking for in a pressure cooker? Thanks!

    We eat soup at least twice a week, so I am always happy to find something new. This one looks so comforting and delicious, I am sure we would love it. And leftover turkey is something we have often.
