Step-by-Step Instructions
- Finely chop one onion and mince two cloves of garlic. Then, slice two stalks of celery and two carrots thinly using a mandolin or food processor for even cooking.
- In a large stockpot, heat two tablespoons of avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the onions turn translucent and fragrant.
- After the onions and garlic are ready, add the sliced celery and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Then, toss in the thinly sliced carrots and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Pour in 6 cups of chicken or turkey broth and 2 cups of water into the stockpot, stirring well. Next, add 1 cup of wild rice and 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer for 45 minutes.
- Once the wild rice is cooked, add 2 cups of shredded leftover turkey to the soup. Stir gently to incorporate the turkey, allowing it to warm through for about 5 minutes.
- In a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of whole wheat pastry flour and cook for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk to the roux, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir the creamy roux into the stockpot with the soup until fully incorporated and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes
For best results, ensure all vegetables are uniformly cut. Homemade broth enhances flavor, and fresh parsley brightens the dish.
