We love a good tortilla or taco soup around here. So, when we have leftover turkey, we oftentimes substitute shredded turkey for our usual shredded chicken. Suddenly, those savory holiday leftovers take on a whole different flavor!
Crock Pot Turkey Tortilla Soup
- This soup would be great in the iStir Crock Pot that automatically stirs your soup for you, but any 6 quart slow cooker will also work.
- If you don’t have leftover turkey, you can always use leftover chicken from a grocery store rotisserie chicken or you could throw 2-3 chicken breasts in raw and cook the 4-6 hours and then shred it with forks and return it to the soup.

We had left over turkey from our thanksgiving dinner and it was delicious, I didn’t want to throw it all away. I went on to Pinterest and found this soup with 5 star rating. Delicious
