Slow Cooker Cajun Turkey Soup
Slow Cooker Cajun Turkey Soup is a spicy soup that is a fantastic way to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe
My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is the leftovers. Leftover turkey can be repurposed in so many ways. I love it in Turkey Tetrazzini‚ Turkey Corn Chowder‚ Turkey Florentine‚ and Turkey Broccoli Alfredo.
How To Make Slow Cooker Cajun Turkey Soup
Cook the sausage‚ onion‚ celery‚ and bell pepper in a skillet until the sausage is browned and the veggies are soft.
Place in a slow cooker along with turkey‚ Cajun seasoning‚ diced tomatoes‚ garlic powder‚ chicken broth‚ and corn.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours. So easy!
How To Serve
I love this soup with Buttermilk Cornbread Muffins or Potato Rolls.
Variations
Use chicken instead of turkey.
Add a can of beans.
Creole seasoning can be used in place of Cajun seasoning. I like Tony Chachere’s.
Add a can of green beans.
Use leftover ham instead of turkey.
Use kielbasa smoked sausage in place of Andouille.
Cajun Flavors
This soup is really spiced up with some Cajun flavors. There’s the Holy Trinity- onions‚ celery‚ and bell pepper‚ lots of Cajun seasoning‚ and some Andouile sausage.
Level Of Spice
You can easily make this recipe more or less spicy. To make it less spicy‚ use kielbasa sausage in place of Andouille sausage and cut the Cajun seaosning in half. To make it more spicy‚ serve with Hot Sauce‚ either Zatarain’s or TABASCO.
How To Store
Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days or you can freeze it for up to 2 months.
