Gluten-Free Turkey Tortilla Soup

If you stashed some turkey in your freezer from Thanksgiving or Christmas and you’re looking for a way to use it, or perhaps you just want a simple way to jazz up a rotisserie chicken, this Gluten-Free Turkey Tortilla Soup is a great choice! 

Obviously, if your turkey is frozen, let it thaw in your fridge before using. If you use rotisserie chicken for this instead, be sure to check that it’s gluten free. I love to serve this flavorful soup with a squeeze of lime, some avocado slices, and a handful of tortilla chips. For this, I used Xochitl corn tortilla chips. 

Make sure not to add too much salt at the beginning of cooking this recipe, as the tortilla chips are salted and will be added later. You can always add more salt at the end of cooking, if needed.
