This Crockpot Smoked Turkey Taco Soup Recipe is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover turkey! Personally, the leftovers are one of my favorite parts of holiday dinners. Soup is one of those meals I love to make big batches of for the leftovers and freeze for lunches later.

I always make more meat than we need at any time of the year. The holidays are no different, and this year I opted to try using my leftover smoked turkey in Taco soup!! It did not disappoint! It was so easy to throw together but also, the house smelled amazing.

Diced Green Chili Peppers

Pinto Beans
Diced Tomatoes
Chicken Broth– I used Better than Boullion chicken to make my broth. You can use canned broth or even boxed broth. I use fat-free broth to make the chicken healthier. You can add an extra cup of water if there is not enough liquid in the crock pot. Chicken stock can also be used.
Black Beans
Red Beans

How To Make Crockpot Smoked Turkey Taco Soup:

Take your leftover turkey and shred it; you can use white or dark meat. You can make this with a not smoked turkey as well.

I used an 8-quart crockpot, which means the batch is big enough to have leftovers!!

Spray the crockpot with a nonstick spray and start to open up all your cans, or use a crockpot liner.

In a strainer, strain your canned corn and beans and then drop them into the crockpot. Rinse them off as well this will remove the excess starch, do not rinse them if your beans have a sauce to them.

Next, add in the rest of the ingredients and seasonings except for the broth I do that last.

Slowly add chicken broth to the crockpot until the contents are covered, and stir the crockpot.

Cook on low for at least four hours.

Serve and enjoy!
