how can you make some kind of soup out of the left over turkey?

Answer 1

Turkey soup Boil the carcass for 2 hours adding water when needed, until meat falls off. Then saving the water remove carcass and bones breaking up the meat. Add celery, carrots, barley or rice, parsley, salt pepper 1 clove garlic if you don't care for the taste of celery then boil it with the carcass

Answer 2

Take the turkey carcass and place into a very large kettle of lightly salted boiling water and cook until the meat falls off the bones. Leave in the meart and take out the bones and discard and add in veggies like potatoes, carrots, celery, parsnips, onions and some more of your favorite seasoning or other veggies and cook until veggies are tender then add in your favorite pasta noodles or rice and cook until noodle and rice are done and you will have a fabulous turkey soup.

Answer 5

Strip as much meat from the carcass as you can and put the meat in the fridge. Break up the carcass and put that along with all skin and cooked fat in a very large pot. You can add a couple carrots and celery sticks and an onion if you like. Barely cover with water and simmer (never boil!) over low heat for several hours. Check regulary, you may need to add water to keep the stock ingredients barely covered. Let cool, separate solids from fluid, skim fat off (your pets will love the solids and fat over thier kibble, be sure you don't give them any bones). Add veges of your choice (avoid brassicas like broccli and cabbage) simmer til almost tender, add meat & continue to simmer til warmed through and veges are tender. Check seasonings, you can add salt, pepper and whatever you seasoned the original turkey with if you like. You can thicken with a little cornstarch mixed with water if you want to or with some of your leftover mashed potatoes. I also like to add a little leftover stuffing right at the end.
The key to really really good soup is never let the stock come up past a simmer - never never let it get to a hard boil and have your stock ingredients barely covered with water to keep it nice and rich. Once the basic stock is made and the solids and fat removed, you can continue to simmer it down if you like. This will make a richer and denser soup base. I often freeze my soup base in cup to quart containers for future use.
If your soup base is too thin and you don't have time/inclination to cook it down you can also add some chicken or turkey boullion - I prefer a paste called "better than boullion", to rich it up.
I always end up with the turkey carcass because I love to make soup and I'm really good at it. In fact, I did this myself yesterday with my second carcass of the season.
Best wishes!

Answer 6

Everybody I've served this to loves it ... and it hardly tastes of turkey, just a good rich meaty soup, if you're tried of turkey ...

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S TURKEY" ANTIPASTO SOUP

A great way to use up the end of a turkey, esp. with a loaf of crusty bread. The broth can be made and frozen for assembly later. The turkey meat should be frozen separately if you do this. This is for a large bird. If it's a tiny one, halve the rest of the ingredients.

1 turkey carcass from roasted bird
Few celery tops
2 medium onions, peeled and cut up
12 peppercorns
2 teas. salt (or less)
2 quarts water, or more, to cover
2 pounds hot Italian sausages
2 cans (20-oz each) of chick peas
2 cans (16-oz. each) tomatoes
1 jar (8 oz.) pimentos, drained and chopped
2 teas. Italian seasoning (basil, oregano, etc.)
½ cup sliced pitted ripe olives (I use Greek)

Bust up the carcass and put it in large kettle with onion, celery tops, salt, peppercorns and water. Heat to boiling. Cover, simmer 2 hours. Remove bones from broth and cool until they can be handled. Strip off meat and set aside. Strain broth into large bowl.

Remove sausage meat from casing. Sauté in own fat in the kettle for 10 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Stir in the turkey. Add a little salad oil if needed to brown the turkey.

Stir in 6 cups of turkey broth, chickpeas and liquid, tomatoes, pimientos and Italian seasonings. Heat to boiling; simmer, stirring once or twice, 10 minutes to blend flavors.

Ladle into large soup bowls. Float olive pieces on top.

Answer 7

Turkey and noodles, as you would prepare chicken and noodles. For homemade egg noodles, 1 cup whole grain flour, 1 tsp salt, 1tsp sage or other herb, 2 beaten eggs, stir dry ingredients and add eggs. Roll out thinly and cut to desired size. Add to boiling liquid with diced turkey and veggies. Lower heat to low and simmer about 20 minutes.

Answer 8

you can make a soup silar to chicken soup. I alway smake mine up and they taste so good.

Potatoes, carrots, corn, celery, and a ton of spices. I stick with salt, oregano, parsley, bay leaves, a packet of sason goya, pasta shells, all seasoned to taste. To thicken it up I put some plain oats in the soup at the end of cooking until it breaks up. Soooooo gooood

The best recipiees are made by experimenting. Have fun!
