Preparation

Step 1

Turkey Soup:

Prepare the turkey soup much as you would chicken soup. With your stock already made, add chopped carrots, onions, and celery in equal parts. Add some parsley, a couple cloves of garlic. Add seasoning - poultry seasoning, sage, thyme, marjoram and/or a boullion cube. Cook at a bare simmer until the vegetables are cooked through. (or you can saute the vegetables in a little fat rendered from the soup first, and add back to the soup right before service). You can add rice, noodles, or even leftover mashed potatoes. Take some of the remaining turkey meat you reserved earlier, shred it into bite sized pieces and add to the soup. You may also want to add some chopped tomatoes, either fresh or canned. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sometimes a dash or two of Tabasco gives the soup a nice little kick.
