Time 16h35m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 quarts turkey broth
3 cubes chicken bouillon
1 pound thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch square pieces
2 tablespoons minced garlic
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound cubed cooked turkey
1 red onion, sliced
1 cup barley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 pound okra, sliced
½ bunch fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine turkey broth and chicken bouillon in a slow cooker.
  • Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat; add garlic and black pepper. Cook and stir until bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; blot to remove as much fat as possible.
  • Stir bacon mixture into the slow cooker. Add turkey, red onion, barley, rosemary, salt, and Italian seasoning.
  • Cook, stirring every half hour, on Low for 7 1/2 hours (or high for 3 1/2 hours). Stir okra and parsley into soup and continue cooking for 30 minutes more.
  • Cool soup to room temperature and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight. Skim any solid fat off the top and heat soup on the stovetop.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours. It was perfect for a busy weeknight meal.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover turkey. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the okra and the bacon.

I'm not a fan of barley, so I used rice instead. The soup was still very good. I also added some chopped carrots and celery for extra vegetables.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the bacon. It was still delicious! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it turned out great.

I'm not usually a fan of okra, but this soup changed my mind. The okra was cooked perfectly and added a nice texture to the soup. The bacon and barley also added a lot of flavor. I highly recommend this soup.
