I’m excited to introduce Tricia as today’s guest blogger. Some of you may know her as Once a Month Mom. She has taken meal planning to a whole new level by planning her menus 30 days in advance. We could all learn a thing or two from her! I had the pleasure of meeting Tricia at BlogHer in New York and realized one thing immediately: she is super organized. There is no doubt she would score high enough on our Meal Planning IQ Quiz to be a Meal Planning Ninja. What I love about her blog – aside from the great planning she does – is that fact that her recipes are simple. Her recipe today is a perfect example of that simplicity. This Turkey Noodle Soup only has three ingredients and is just in time for Thanksgiving. I can’t forget today’s giveaway: a $25 gift card to Chefscatalog.com! See details on how to enter below. If you enter, you are eligible to win the grand prize, an Oneida Roasting Pan.
One of my favorite, and incredibly easy, go-to meals for the fall is a simple chicken and noodles. Not only is it incredibly easy but it is less than 30 minutes from refrigerator to the table if you have cooked chicken on hand (or, let’s say several pounds of turkey).
With Thanksgiving just around the corner this is a great recipe to keep on hand for the days following. It is simply chicken broth, chicken and egg noodles. Three ingredients, that’s it! Okay, it sometimes can use a little salt. So maybe four. At any rate. If you find yourself with a bit of leftover turkey simply subsitute for chicken and you will have a great dinner with little fuss! I love mine served over mashed potatoes so all the better if you have leftover mashed potatoes as well!

Ingredients:
- 1 pound chicken or turkey, cooked and diced
- 31 ounces chicken broth
- 8 ounces wide egg noodles
- to taste salt
Directions:
Pour chicken broth into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add egg noodles and chicken. Cook until egg noodles have absorbed most of the liquid. Serve, over mashed potatoes preferably.
Cooks Notes:
If you would like to make your own chicken or turkey stock after a holiday like Thanksgiving, you can easily do so. Simply pull the remainder of the meat from the bone, or at least what you can get to. Place the rest of the carcass in a large stock pot and cover with water. Boil for several hours and excess meat has fallen off the bones. Sift the liquid making sure to remove excess fat and bones. You now have chicken or turkey stock! Free! 
Servings: 4-6
And if you are looking for an easier way to approach the Thanksgiving Holiday, perhaps think about preparing the entire meal ahead. You can do so easily with the Once a Month Holiday eCookbook, available now for $9.99. It is a complete grocery list, recipe cards, step-by-step instructions for preparing and freezing ahead your meal so that you have more time to entertain guests!

Wow, this recipe is easy-peasy, and looks delicious! I’m not sure about serving it with mashed potatoes though. Wouldn’t that be too much starch in the same meal?
That looks like a simple recipe. Our house rarely has leftovers past the first round of turkey sandwiches though.

Sounds like a delicious recipe, and I purposely got a HUGE turkey so there would be plenty of leftovers!
This is my kids’ Tuesday night favorite from our Sunday roasted chicken. Mine too, ESPECIALLY on the rare occasion there are mashed potatoes left too. Ultimate comfort food! Yum!
I love the turkey leftovers because you can make all kinds of great meals from them. This looks good!
Yum! We’ll have to try this this year!
I love having homemade stock in the freezer!
This recipe looks great. Thanks!
Wow, thank you. We will be trying this one on Friday!
I agree, simple recipes like this are an awesome quick meal! I would need a bit of sour cream on mine and it would be perfect! Thanks!
Tricia’s recipes are easy and most always what I would consider a ‘comfort’ food. I always have chicken or turkey broth on hand in the freezer. Happy Thankgsiving to all you Women out there who work so hard to take care of others!
so easy! it almost makes me want to make my own turkey instead of just going to everyone elses thanksgiving lol! almost, not quite. maybe next year.
This recipe is easy and delicious. I sometimes prepare the same sort of recipe and stir in some sour cream or some undiluted cream of (whatever you want) soup to add a bit more richness.
this is recipe is excellent, thank you so much for sharing!
We have a large family and the kids EAT a lot… this is a perfect way for us to stretch our leftovers.
My kids love anything with noodles – this looks like one that I’ll try!
thanks for the timely reminder of such a great and easy meal. i need to put this one back into rotation. happy turkey day.
OK, it is so simple that it is genius! I have this on hand right now, of course! Thanks, great deal too as far as budget goes. I might add a little rosemary or oregano to mine..even a small sprinkle of parmesan would be nice. Not to complicate it, but since they are also staples! Thanks for the giveaway too!
i am over from once a month blog… she is one of my favorites and now I am thankful for all these left over turkey recipes. and i am thankful for a chance to win!!
Great, simple recipe for when you are tired of cooking. THanks Trisha
Wow, I just love leftover easy recipes! And a chance to win too! You are all awesome!
Sounds like a great recipe to enjoy while we put up the Christmas tree…our tradition for the day after Thanksgiving! YUM!
I think leftover chicken or turkey make for the best leftovers. There is so much you can do with them!
Thanks Tricia – for yet another, delicious, simple recipe!!
Sounds good! I say noodles and mashed potatoes and chicken, too, would be the ultimate comfort food. I’d probably eat it for several meals in a row. Thanks.
This sounds really good, I’ll be trying it with my Thanksgiving left overs. Thanks
awesome article and giveaway thanks. definitely making this fri
Another simple recipe from tricia, I think I’ll throw in some frozen veggies & make the whole dinner in one pot!
I’ve got several kitchen gadgets on my holiday wish list, and this gift card would most definitely help!
I like to sub pearl barley sometimes. If your making a lot of soup the barley soaks up the flavor of the broth nicely and holds up very well as I’m always got more than enough soup for 2 or 3 meals.
That sounds like a great receipe, my husband would love it, and it is a great way to us the left over turkey from Thanksgiving.
I’m baking a turkey for the first time this year, so this looks great for leftovers!
I can’t wait to try this. I plan to try a twist with a little jalepano pepper. I will let you know how it turns out.
I use the turkey carcass every year to make a HUGE batch of turkey noodle & vegetable soup and freeze it. I love having it there to thaw out & warm up later on a cold wintry day! Yum! It freezes wonderfully!!
A very tasty sounding, easy to make dish that my whole family will eat! Awesome!!
I am going to try this recipe too this year and it supposed to be cool the day after Thanksgiving. I’d also like to enter the giveaway too.
We always buy a HUGE turkey so we have lots of leftovers for great recipes like this!! Yumm!
My husband would really like this recipe. I might add some peas for green and to get a vegetable in there.
the picture alone is making me hungry. cant wait to try this recipe.
I’m always looking for new recipes to use leftovers like turkey or chicken. I will definitely be trying this!
Great recipe! Looking forward to trying it!
wow this is super simple! that is fabulous
Such a simple recipe that would make some quick and easy lunches!
Love simple and easy ideas for leftovers!!
I’m making this with our leftover turkey!
