I usually make this with chicken but I've got some frozen turkey thawing.
I'm using all white meat turkey chunks in this and I'm sure it will be
fine. I usually use a mix of white and dark meat chicken. It's pretty
high
in fat, carbs and cholesterol but I use the 98% fat free canned broth to
reduce the fat content. The carbs are mainly from the beans and corn
which
are still carbs but not so bad. The tortilla chips are high in everything
;( I got this recipe from one of my cooking classes at Dierbergs. I have
adapted it many ways but this is the basic. My adaptations include
substituting chicken for turkey.

Turkey(Chicken) Tortilla Soup

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 to 4 cups diced cooked turkey
1 box (32 ounces) chicken broth
2 cups frozen corn kernels
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Tortilla chips
Garnishes
Shredded Mexican cheese blend, diced avocado,
sour cream, lime wedges, chopped fresh cilantro

In large saucepan, cook onion and garlic in oil over medium-high heat
until
tender, about 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except tortilla chips
and garnishes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15
minutes. Ladle into bowls. Top with broken tortilla chips, and garnish as
desired.

Thanks for this recipe. It looks so straightforward, not like some others
I've seen and quickly disregard; consequently I've never made it. Even I
can make this. And I would tonight as I have everything on hand. But alas
I'm having baked chili rellenos and separately red beans with chipotle, and
avocado, plus leftover veggies from last night's dinner. I have to use up 3
poblanos. Dinner is not the time to eat heavy, but --

The soup is pretty easy. I got the recipe a long time ago. It is easy and
very good too. Make a quick shredded lettuce salad to go with topped with
some really good salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced black olives
and whatever else you like. Soup goes with just about anything with avocado
in it too. Your rellenos sound wounderful.
