- 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
- 2 bay leaves

- 2-3 tablespoon Italian seasoning or cajun seasoning
Instructions
- NOTE - this will only work for a smaller turkey. Larger ones will need a bigger pan and Instant Pot won't work
- Put the leftover turkey in your Instant Pot. Add water to cover it. Cook for 2 hours, pushing the bird down into the water to keep it submerged. Once it is soft. Remove the turkey and put it in a bowl and remove as much meat as possible.
- Pour the stock into another bowl.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in your Instant Pot. Add the onions, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring frequently, until somewhat softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the lima beans, corn, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, turkey, bay leaves, and a little salt and pepper and stir. Add enough of the broth to cover the soup about an inch.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 40-50 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork. You can quick cook by selecting SOUP on your instant pot and. Run for 10 minutes and slow release.
- Remove and discard the bay leaves. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired. If there isn't enough flavor add Italian seasoning or cajun seasoning. Either work great they just give it a different flavor!
