It’s Thanksgiving Day and I hope you’ll be using some of our 50+ Recipes for a Slow Cooker (or Instant Pot) Thanksgiving to make your Thanksgiving dinner prep just a bit easier! And once dinner is over a lot of you will probably have leftover turkey staring you in the face, so I’m updating this post to give you The BEST Slow Cooker and Instant Pot Turkey Soup Recipes (plus Honorable Mentions). These are turkey soup ideas that are a bit more interesting than the usual carrots, celery, and noodles turkey soup variations that often show up after Thanksgiving.
But before we get to the recipes, did you realize that turkey and chicken are pretty much interchangeable in soup recipes? So if you have leftover turkey, you can use a recipe that calls for leftover chicken, and if you don’t have leftover turkey you can use leftover chicken instead. You can also substitute diced, cooked turkey in pretty much any recipe that calls for cooked ground turkey, but add the cooked turkey towards the end of the cooking time so it doesn’t all shred apart.
And Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I’m going to be taking the rest of the weekend off to enjoy some time with my family. I hope everyone who celebrates will have a wonderful holiday dinner today with lots of leftover turkey to make into soup tomorrow; enjoy!

What a fabulous round up! Thank you for sharing my Southwestern Turkey Soup.
My pleasure! That soup looks so good!
Kayln-I have a question. This is my first visit to the crock pot site and I am slightly confused. Are these supposed to be "diet friendly" recipes or only if they say so in the labels at the bottom? Looking at some of these I don't think they're obviously diet even though they all sure do look good!
Susan, you can sort recipes by diet type by clicking Recipes by Photo and picking the type of diet you want. And the tagline "Healthier Recipes from Food Blogs" refers to the idea that these recipes don't contain processed foods, therefore they are "healthier" than many crockpot recipes out there. But definitely not every recipe is suitable for all diets.
Thanks Jeanette. What I think I like most is the way it makes the house smell good!
Love the idea of making soup with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, especially with the cold temperatures this week.
