Turkey Carcass Soup Recipe

Turkey Carcass Soup

From DeeLowe 14 years ago

Yummy comfort food, and a great way to get the most from that leftover holiday turkey that's been picked pretty clean.

Put turkey carcass in large stock pot, cover with chicken broth. If not enough to cover carcass, add some water. Sauté onion, celery, and garlic in skillet with 2 T. butter until soft and transparent. Add to chicken broth. Add about one carrot to broth and carcass. Bring to a rolling boil on medium high heat. Lower temperature to medium low and cook for about 1 hour or until carcass is white looking.
Remove bones from pot and discard. Mash carrot pieces. Stir in chicken gravy and pepper. Add remaining carrots and continue to cook until tender, About 15-20 minutes.
About 1/2 hour before your ready to serve, bring broth back to a boil, on high heat. Add egg noodles and parsley. boil for 10 minutes. Scoop into bowls and let stand for 5 minutes.
Serve with rolls or crackers.

Grandma and Grandad came for Thanksgiving dinner,years and years ago,I threw the boney ole' carcasses out to the dog... when I saw the disappointment in her eyes,it crushed me,and I learned my lesson.
~so~
Now...I boil it down,and savor what is left.
Thank-you for reminding me of the two people that will always stand tall in their boots,in my books.
Kindest of Regards

Don't think a holiday has ever gone by without making carcass soup. Now that I spend the "turkey holidays" at my daughter's and she does most of the cooking, I still get to bring home the carcass for my soup pot. I leave the noodles out..... because I live alone and this makes a LOT of soup, I vacuum seal most of it (once cooled) in single-serving portions. Then, when I reheat it at a later date, I add the noodles; that way they're not over-cooked.
