Turkey Soup in a Jar

Here is a recipe for Turkey Soup in a Jar. This is a good idea for a special treat for a neighbor, shut-in, teacher, etc. I created a special tag with the recipe instructions on my computer and cut around it with my scrapbook scissors. I covered the jar lid with cute fall fabric, wrapped with raffia and attached the instructions to it. If you wish you could even make labels using computer sticker paper. I have done that with other mixes in a jar.
