Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers! I’m heading out in a few hours to spend Thanksgiving with my sister Laurel and some of her family. I don’t normally update the website on Thursday, but I wanted people who who subscribe to the site to get this recipe for Low-Carb Turkey Soup with Zucchini <\/b> in their inbox on Friday morning. And if you get some leftover turkey, I hope you make this soup or one of my other low-carb recipes for leftover turkey<\/a>!<\/p>\n

This soup is the perfect thing to make on the day after Thanksgiving! When we tested this recipe for low-carb turkey soup, we gobbled it up, even though it was the end of a long day of recipe testing and we weren’t really that hungry. I first made this tasty soup with zucchini noodles, but now they aren’t so much of a thing, and this soup will be equally delicious (if not better) with small diced pieces of zucchini.<\/p>\n

Take your choice on that, but trust me when I say you’re not going to miss the traditional higher-carb ingredients like potatoes or noodles in this delicious turkey soup! And if you don’t have leftover turkey, you can make this soup with chicken as well. I hope it’s going to be a hit at your house!<\/p>\n
