Depending on desired texture, you could use a potato masher or stick blender for a smooth texture. Or take a few large spoonfuls of potatoes from the soup before mashing or blending for a chunkier texture. Add heavy cream, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the turkey leg meat and potatoes (if removed for chunkier texture) back into the soup. Let simmer for 20minutes.
