For a richer flavor, consider browning the turkey drumsticks in a skillet before adding them to the soup pot.
If using leftover turkey, reduce the simmering time in step 3 to just 30 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften and the flavors to meld.
Feel free to adjust the amount of herbs and spices to your liking. Fresh herbs can also be used; just double the quantity.
Adding a bay leaf during simmering enhances the depth of flavor. Remember to remove it before serving.
For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the cooked carrots and celery before returning the turkey to the pot.
