Last Turkey Post

 

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!  The WTF family sure did.

 

One thing I was really looking forward to this year was using the turkey carcass to make stock.  I have been using our chicken backs this year to make stock & I thought the turkey would be fun to try.

 

Last week I got an email newsletter that included a recipe for Next-Day Turkey Soup.  I did some tweaking to the recipe & this is what I came up with:

 

 Turkey Soup

1 leftover turkey carcass

Water

 Sliced carrots

 Chopped onion

Sliced celery

 Garlic, minced

Salt & pepper to taste

Dried Parsley

 

Place carcass & water in stock pot & bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, cover & simmer for 1 1/2 hours.  Remove carcass.

 Remove meat from bones & set aside.

 

 

 Discard bones, then strain broth & skim fat.

 

 

 Add carrots, onion, celery, garlic, salt & pepper & simmer for 30-45 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

 

 

 Add parsley & heat through.

 

The original recipe calls for adding cubed turkey meat but I left some meat on the carcass so there was no need to add extra.
