Ingredients
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (can use butter if not avoiding
dairy)
1 cup diced yellow onion
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced carrot
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1 T kosher salt
3/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 pound green cabbage shredded
8 ounces white button mushrooms stems trimmed and sliced
8 cups Pacific Foods Organic Bone Broth Turkey
1 large dried bay leaf
1 handful fresh parsley
1 pound cooked turkey meat cubed

I'm thinking to remove the skin, leave bones as are (debone when soft
enough and cooled enough then shred and add meat back in).  Thyme and
parsley will be dried.  More black pepper (we are black pepper fans).

Starting with almost defrosted Turkey thigh....  Will add in garlic
which was missing.  Chicken broth as didn't see Turkey.  I'm short on
celery but will use some of the whites off a Boy Choy to make up for
it.

It's going!  I used nappa cabbage, about 3 cups worth (I'd used up the
green) and combined it with some 3/4 cup red cabbage (hope it comes out
pretty).  Swapped 'seafood mushroom' (looks like Enoki but thicker and
longer).

I ended up using both thighs as once the bone is removed, it should be
just about 1lb meat,

For the first time, used the store brand chicken stock (boxed).  It
actually has flavor!  Looks to need 3 hour simmer with a break in the
middle to fish out the meat and debone.  If I were to add something, it
would be a few handfuls of corn kernals.

I'd probably have simmered the thighs by themselves and
used the resulting broth along with the chicken broth to
make the soup.  About the only place I've seen boxed
turkey broth is at Aldi.
For my own taste I'd left out any type of cabbage and
corn.  But yes, do add garlic.
