Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 turkey carcass
- 8 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 celery ribs finely chopped
- 2 carrots peeled and chopped
- 2 1/2 cups leftover turkey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 10 oz dried egg noodles
Instructions
- Add turkey carcass to a large pot with the water and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 60-75 minutes to make turkey broth.
- In a large stock pot over medium high heat, add oil and swirl to coat.
- Add onion, celery and carrots to the oil. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are starting to get soft.
- Stir in the broth, turkey, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- If you are cooking the noodles in the soup add them and cook until they are soft. Otherwise boil them separately while the soup simmers for an additional 10 minutes.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as desired.
- Fill bowls with broth and mix in noodles.
Notes
You can use 8 cups prepared turkey or chicken broth and skip to sautéing the carrots, celery, and onion if not using a turkey carcass.
