Using your turkey bones for soup is a great way to be frugal, too, and get every last bit out of that turkey. It’s amazing how much meat still comes off the bone even after you’ve already taken what can be carved off. And once you chill the juices that came off your turkey when you roasted it, the fat solidifies at the top and is easily removed, leaving the good stuff. Make soup!
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 8-10
Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 2 hoursIngredients
Directions
Bring turkey carcass with water and stock to a boil then cover and simmer one hour. Strain and remove bones and any skin, leaving the meat. Add vegetables and seasonings. I like to add about 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper here, too. If your family really likes spicy, consider adding a chopped jalapeno! Spicy Turkey Noodle Soup! Yum!) Simmer for another hour. Enjoy the fantastic aroma!
Melt the 1/4 cup butter in a small saucepan. Add 1/4 cup flour, and some extra pepper if you like. Stir and simmer to bubbling for a few minutes.
Spoon into your soup for thickening the broth. Add egg noodles; cover and simmer another 10 minutes.
