Description
As much as everyone loves a turkey-cranberry-stuffing sammy after Thanksgiving, many folks overlook the golden “goose” of the holiday leftovers — the turkey carcass. Those bones and bits of meat are a flavor bomb just waiting to explode into a simple but dang tasty turkey noodle soup. It’s simple to make a quick stock from the carcass; add some veggies, noodles, and herbs, and wham, you’ve got a great soup. In this recipe we call for fresh dill, but for a more traditional soup, feel free to substitute dried rosemary or sage. In case you don’t have a turkey carcass on hand, you can substitute 3 1/2 qt. unsalted chicken broth for the homemade stock and skip straight to step 5 of the recipe. The recipe, which makes 16 cups, is a Yummly original created by David Bonom.
Ingredients
- 2 medium onions (divided)
- 4 carrots (divided)
- 5 stalks celery (divided)
- 1 turkey carcass (from a cooked turkey)
- 4 sprigs fresh parsley (plus chopped parsley for serving)
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme (divided; or 1 tsp. dried thyme, divided)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill (or use 2 tsp. dried dill, rosemary, or sage)
- 6 oz. wide egg noodles
- 3 cups cooked turkey (diced)
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt (plus more to taste)
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper (plus more to taste)
Directions
- Coarsely chop 1 onion, 2 carrots, and 2 celery stalks and add them to a 10- to 12-qt. pot. Then add the turkey carcass, parsley sprigs, 3 thyme sprigs (or 1/2 tsp. dried thyme), and the bay leaf. Pour in enough cold water to just cover the carcass.
- Cover pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, adjust the lid so the pot is partially covered, and simmer for 4 hours. While the stock cooks, occasionally skim off any whitish foam that forms on top, using a wide metal spoon.
- Meanwhile, cut remaining onion, 3 stalks celery, and 2 carrots into large dice. Mince garlic and set vegetables aside.
