Leftover Turkey Soup



Leftover Turkey Soup


I took the turkey carcass, legs, wings, neck and covered with water in a big pot.  I boiled for about 1 hour.  I cooled it down a bit and scraped off all the turkey that was attached to the bones.  Actually the meat fell off the bones!  I strained the rest of the broth and used half of what I had (I got 16 cups of broth:  1/2 went to the soup, the other half will be frozen for a later time).

So the turkey went into the broth into a pot.
I added:

4 stalks of celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 carrots, chopped
4 red potatoes cut up
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried sage, crumbled
2 teaspoons crushed rosemary
salt & pepper to taste

The veggies are chopped into bite size pieces.  Add to the broth and turkey.  Bring to a boil and cook until veggies are tender.  About 10-15 minutes.

So tasty!  I served with sour dough roll.
