Notes
Ingredients ¡ª
Use your leftover Thanksgiving turkey or a leftover rotisserie chicken for this recipe.
Use any kind of very thin long pasta or fine noodles.
If you don¡¯t care for cilantro, just leave it out or substitute a little fresh basil.
I recommend sriracha for this recipe.
If you use yellow onions and leave the skins on them, you¡¯ll get a beautiful golden broth!
Tips ¡ª
Make this into a chicken noodle bowl if you have leftover rotisserie chicken bones.
If you don¡¯t want to take time to make the broth, you can always toss your leftover turkey in the freezer and keep it for up to three months. This is a great thing to make when it¡¯s cold and miserable later in the winter.
Use unflavored ramen noodles in place of pasta.
Add spinach or bok choy to the bowl with the noodles and broth.
