How to Make Turkey & Barley Soup
This soup is a great way to use up leftover Thanskgiving turkey, or you could use cooked chicken or other cooked protein. It's quick an easy to make, and makes enough to feed a crowd (or have plenty of leftovers for meal prepping)! Barley provides a nutty flavor and chewy texture, but you could use another grain like brown rice or quinoa.
