Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s Turkey Soup is a refined take on traditional leftover turkey soup. It features slow-simmered turkey in a deeply flavorful broth infused with aromatic herbs, vegetables, and garlic. This soup is often paired with rice, pasta, or barley for a hearty texture, and finished with fresh lemon juice and parsley for a bright, refreshing taste.
