Ingredients

  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion finely minced
  • 2 stalks celery thinly sliced
  • 3 large carrots peeled and sliced
  • ½ tsp poultry seasoning
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey stock
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 cups of leftover cooked turkey diced or shredded
  • 2 cups wide egg noodles
  • 1 cup frozen peas optional
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Turn on the Instant Pot to sauté and add oil and butter.
  • Once the butter is melted, put in the onion, celery, carrots, and poultry seasoning. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion softens.
  • Add garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds until it smells good.
  • Pour in ¼ cup chicken stock and scrape the pot's bottom with a spoon to get any browned bits. Then, turn off the Instant Pot.
  • Add more stock, cooked turkey, noodles, salt, pepper, and a bay leaf. Mix it all together.
  • Put the lid on, make sure the vent is sealed and set the Instant Pot to cook for 1 minute on high pressure.
  • After it's done cooking, wait 10 minutes for the pressure to release naturally.
  • After about 10mins, release the remaining pressure by turning the venting knob. Be careful of the steam.
  • Take out the bay leaf and stir in cream, lemon juice, and peas.
  • Put the lid back on for a minute or two to warm everything up, then serve..

Notes

Dairy-Free Option: Skip the butter and cream. Instead, use a full tablespoon of olive oil for sautéing the veggies.
Chicken Instead of Turkey: If you have leftover Rotisserie Chicken or Instant Pot Chicken Breast, you can use that instead of turkey.
Herb Variation: Instead of poultry seasoning, you can add up to 2 teaspoons each of fresh thyme leaves and chopped fresh rosemary.
Storage: You can keep leftover Turkey Noodle Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure your leftover turkey is no more than 24 hours old or frozen. I don't suggest freezing this soup because of the cream.
