Creating Turkey Wild Rice Soup is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and preparing them as directed.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add Turkey and Rice: Incorporate the cooked turkey and wild rice into the pot, mixing well.

7. Simmer: Bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 45 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender.
8. Add Cream (Optional): For a creamier texture, stir in the heavy cream just before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Serve: Remove the bay leaf, ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley.
