Note
For best texture, ensure the frozen vegetables are fully thawed and drained before adding to the soup to prevent a watery consistency.
You can substitute the white bread toast with crackers, cornbread, or a small bowl of rice if you prefer not to serve soup on bread.
If the soup appears too thick after heating, add a splash more skim milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
This recipe is designed to use leftovers quickly; for food safety, ensure the turkey is heated through to an internal temperature of 165ðF (74ðC).
