2 cups fat-free chicken broth

In a medium skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels, cool; then chop.

In a slow cooker, place bacon, turkey, potato, carrots, onion, celery, soup, broth, thyme and sage. Stir well to combine. Cover and cook on low until the soup is thick and the turkey and vegetables are tender, about 8 hours.

Taste; add salt and pepper as needed. Serves 6.
