Mexican Turkey Soup image

This is a great alternative to customary turkey soup. You can make it as spicy as you want depending on how much jalapeno membrane is used. I make a huge pot of it after every turkey I roast. The first time I made this I felt there was something missing, it needed to be creamy. So, a dollop of cream was all it needed. It's good...

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was still a good soup. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
