This recipe for Gluten Free Turkey Wild Rice Soup is the perfect recipe for Thanksgiving leftovers. I usually make this when the mashed potatoes, gravy and other sides have run out, or the weekend following Thanksgiving. I have a dairy sensitivity so I usually use oat milk, rather than cows milk and it blends in well. This recipe is not only easy, but really warming on the cold November days.
