This Turkey Enchilada Soup Is What You Need on Busy Weeknights

By Sarah Lipoff

One of the things I absolutely love is a steamy bowl of soup, which also makes for a really easy dinner on a busy weeknight. You can make life even easier thanks to the help of your slow cooker along with precooked turkey breast that you can pick up at your grocery store's deli (lifesaver!).

Extra bonus? You simply dump all the ingredients into your slow cooker and let it do all the work. You'll be welcomed home to the scent of something seriously delicious.
