We love making turkey soup with our Thanksgiving leftovers. Most years, we make a batch of our classic Easy Homemade Turkey Soup Recipe. Last year, we switched things up a little and went with a Healthy Creamy Turkey Mushroom Soup. This year we are going totally rogue and bringing back a unique (and delicious!) turkey soup that we first made many years ago.
Why we love this Thai Coconut Turkey Soup
I know it might seem a little strange to put turkey in Thai food but since it is a whole lot like chicken, just way more flavourful, it totally works. And since it’s so quick and easy to make, it’s ideal after Thanksgiving when you don’t want to spend another million hours in your kitchen.

Tips for making the best Thai Coconut Turkey Soup
Always start with Homemade Turkey Stock. If you make this recipe with store-bought stock, it won’t have the same rich flavor. Luckily, making turkey stock is super easy. We put the turkey bones in our crockpot, fill it up with water, and turn it on low right after dinner. By the time we wake up in the morning, we have turkey stock ready to be made into soup! Decide whether you like slurp-worthy soup. Or not. We make this soup with whole bean sprouts and bigger strips of peppers and onions, which can be a bit messy to eat. If you’d like a little less noodle-like slurping, chop the veggies smaller. Use a curry paste you love. While most grocery stores sell Thai curry paste, not all are made equal. My trick to finding the best is to look for curry paste made in Thailand with Thai writing on the jar or package. In my experience, these are the best-flavored curry pastes.
