1 whole Sweet Potato, Chopped
1 whole Parsnip, Peeled And Chopped
4 whole Carrots, Peeled And Chopped

Directions

1

In a large pot, heat the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and uncooked brown rice until onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
2

Add the sweet potato, parsnip, carrots and turnip. Continue to saute until all veggies are softened but not cooked all the way through, about 5-8 minutes.
3

Add the mushrooms and saute 1 minute longer before adding all of the spices, turkey drippings, water and white wine. Bring to a full boil and allow to bubble 1 to 2 minutes before reducing the heat to a simmer.
4

Cover and cook 45 minutes. Check the soup and add salt/seasonings as necessary. Check the vegetables to be sure they're cooked all the way through.
5

Add leftover turkey meat and continue cooking another 2 minutes to heat up the meat. Serve with your favorite cornbread or dinner roll!
6

This soup can be placed in freezer-safe containers and frozen. Thaw by placing sealed container in hot water and re-heat on the stove top.

Note: If you have turkey bones, throw them in with the soup while it's simmering for extra flavor. Discard bones when ready to serve!
