Katie Koziolek of Hartland, Minnesota notes, I simmer a rich broth using the turkey carcass, then add favorite vegetables and sometimes noodles.
Ingredients:
turkey broth:
1 leftover turkey carcass
8 cups water
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 celery rib with leaves
1 small onion, halved
1 carrot
3 whole peppercorns
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
turkey vegetable soup:
8 cups turkey broth
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cups sliced carrots, celery, green beans and/or other vegetables
3/4 cup chopped onion
4 cups diced cooked turkey
Directions:
1. Place all broth ingredients in a large stockpot; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 25 minutes. Strain broth; discard bones and vegetables. Cool; skim fat. Use immediately for turkey vegetable soup or refrigerate and use within 24 hours.
2. For soup, combine the broth, bouillon, pepper, vegetables and onion in a large stockpot. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Add turkey and heat through. Yield: 8-10 servings.
