mom's turkey leg soup


I don't often post recepies, and those of you who know me, know I'm not a huge fan of the kitchen ;)  My mama taught me how to make this and for someone who doesn't like to spend a ton of time in the kitchen it's def do-able, and healthy.   Another bonus.. it isn't super expensive!  Turkey legs are cheap, it can be done under $12 and makes 6-7 meals!!  Since I usually cook for one, I eat a couple meals and freeze the rest.

Ingredients:  turkey legs, chicken broth, veges, and seasoning
Cook time: 6-8 hours in crock pot on low

1-  Cover the legs in water and heat (low heat) on the stove for a couple hours.  The night before makes it easier, then refergerate.  The next day warm it up again and the meat comes right off the bone, you can leave the skin out.  Add the meat and turkey broth to the pot.

2-  Add veges.  I used:  diced tomatoes, carrots, celery, onion, spinach, and black beans

3-  Add seasoning.  I used:  basil, oregano, parsley, sea salt, ground black pepper, and 2 bay leaves

4-  Add chicken broth

5- Let it sit in the cooker for 6-8 hours & enjoy

i HEART yummy soup when its chilly out :D
