Leftover Turkey Noodle Soup

Ingredients

• 1 turkey carcass (leftover from a carved turkey, all meat removed)
• 14 cups water
• 1 large onion (peeled)
• 2 stalks celery
• 3 medium carrots (peeled )
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
• 2 to 3 cups turkey meat (chopped, white or dark)
• 8 ounce egg noodles (dry )
• 1 bouillon cube (or 1-2 tbsp Vegeta)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the broth:: In a large soup pot, add turkey carcass, water, onion, celery sticks and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 1.5 hours, covered over medium-low heat.

2. 2

   Make the soup:: Remove the carcass and everything else from the soup using tongs or a slotted spoon, set the carrots aside. All there should be left in the pot should be the broth. Add turkey meat and noodles to the pot. You might need to add a couple more cups of water as some of it may have evaporated. Chop the cooked carrots into half moons and add back to the pot. Season with salt and pepper and add the bouillon cube or vegeta.

3. 3

   Simmer and Serve:: Cook for another 8 minutes until noodles are cooked. Garnish with parsley and serve.
