Turkey Ramen Noodle Soup

Juicy turkey is heated in sesame oil with a splash of soy sauce, then immersed in a savory turkey stock with Bok Choy and classic Ramen Noodles.

Alright. I know. It’s November 22nd, Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and you’re probably sick of turkey before you’ve even eaten it. BUT, let me just say this. This turkey is drizzled with soy sauce and tossed in sesame oil for an Asian twist that will make you forget that you’re even eating Turkey. (And by the way, if you’re not eating turkey, a rotisserie chicken is absolutely perfect for this meal.) And either option is perfect for making your own stock, which makes this soup that much more comforting. 

I was excited to share this meal idea with my husband as I was making it, but I could tell he had his doubts. He doesn’t admit that he’s a picky eater but man, he’s a picky eater. Anyway he devoured this soup. Like, tip-the-bowl-and-pour-every-last-drop-in-your-mouth kind of devour. Like, we have no leftovers kind of devour.
