Golden Turkey Brothcan be the basis for a variety of soups, like these international inspirations:

• Southwestern:Sauté some chopped onion, adding ground cumin and chile powder during the last few seconds of cooking. Add broth and diced tomatoes and simmer for a few minutes. Add turkey, corn, and black beans. Season with a squeeze of lime and top each serving with diced avocado.
• Chinese:Sauté chopped bok choy and sliced shiitake mushrooms. Add broth, turkey, bamboo shoots, and fresh Chinese egg noodles (cooked separately). Season with a dab of chile paste and top each serving with mung bean sprouts.
• Italian:Sauté chopped kale and garlic until the kale is tender. Add broth, turkey, and white beans. Season with a squeeze of lemon and nestle a poached egg in each bowl.
