This Holiday season, I have teamed up with Teflon® brand with “Seasons to Celebrate”. From now until December 18, Teflon® brand has teamed with Farberware® to focus on quick and easy holiday entertaining like today’s recipe for turkey (or chicken) and wild rice soup .
They are doing themed weeks that include fun family-friendly and easy ways to celebrate the holidays. This weeks theme is Last-Minute Holiday Side Dishes/Holiday Leftovers. I am helping out by sharing a tasty way to use up your leftover Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey. If you don’t have leftovers, you can always use chicken.

This turkey (or chicken) and wild rice soup is simple and tasty. I got the recipe from a friend but then ended up changing it a little bit to better suit my tastes. It is that perfect comfort food that we all crave as the weather gets chilly. Plus, it’s a good way to use up those holiday leftovers.
Throughout the #SeasonstoCelebrate with Teflon® brand , you can visit the “Celebrate the Seasons” Facebook tab or go to Farberware®’s website to enter their fun sweepstakes.
