Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
½ yellow onion chopped
2 large carrots cut into half-circles
2 large celery stalks chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
7 cups turkey or chicken broth
2 cups uncooked egg noodles
1 pound chopped cooked turkey (or chicken) mix of light & dark meat (4 cups)
3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions:

Set the Instant Pot to Saute mode. Add the olive oil. Stir in the onions and cook until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the carrots and celery, and cook until the vegetables are starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the turkey or chicken broth. Set the Instant Pot to High pressure on Manual mode. Reduce the time to 5 minutes. It will take about 15 minutes to come to pressure.
Once the time expires, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Release the pressure manually.
Press the Saute button. Once the broth is boiling, add the egg noodles and chopped turkey. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 6 minutes.
Turn off the Instant Pot and stir in the parsley. Serve.

Stovetop Instructions:

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick saucepan. Add the onion and cook until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the carrots and celery, and cook until the vegetables are starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the turkey or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Turn up the heat so that the soup is boiling gently. Stir in the egg noodles and chopped turkey. Cook until the noodles are tender, 6 to 7 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Serve.
