Turkey stew or soup recipe?

Question

I am thinking of using some chicken soup base and some turkey gravy to make a turkey soup or stew! celery, onions, carrots, potatoes maybe some corn and green beans.
leftover turkey

Should I leave out the gravy...I mean will it just taste like gravy soup!
I tried it mixed it 50/50 with the soup base and strained...it tasted ok but I'm thinking the other ingredients will bring it around!

removed the fat and strained out the flour and turkey bits.

carcase is long gone buddy

TY already cookin...it does taste like gravy but coming around with some oregano, parsley and tyme.
It's gonna rock after all the flavors meld...It's always best the next day anyway

Answer 1

I'd add the gravy if you're making stew, maybe try a little if going with soup.

Sounds good by the way, when's lunch?:)

Answer 2

If it is frozen you can use it as much as you want. If it was sitting in the fridge, use is asap. It loses flavor dries out. I just made a wonderful Italian Wedding soup with left over turkey, dressing, potatoes, celery, ccarrots onions, pasta, chicken broth, spinach, corn, peppers. It is a hearty soup that freezes well, you can even throw in left over mashed ppotatoes and its wonderful with parmesan on top. You won't think you are eating turkey. Just a great and healthy pot of soup. I even added the left over stuffing, like dumplings and its like a mouthful of pure yum. Nothing says you have to eat just ssandwiches make casseroles, soups, stews, invent new ssandwiches

Very easy to make. Just put the caracss of the turkey into a large kettle of lightly salted boiling water and boil until the meat falls off. Remove the bones and discard. Add in potatoes, onions, carrots, celery and any other veggies handy and seasoning to taste. Cook until veggies are tender then add in a box of your favorite pasta noodles or rice and cook until done and you will have a great turkey soup.

I would not leave out the gravy. It would add a different level of flavor. If you have a lot of gravy left, add a little, taste and you can always add more to it. Sounds good, send me some! hehe

Salt and pepper
1 bay leaf, fresh or dried

Heat a pot over moderate heat and add extra-virgin olive oil. Work close to the stove and add vegetables as you chop. If you are using fresh carrots, cut them into a small dice or slice thin. If you are using leftover baby carrots, cut carrots into bite-size pieces. Add celery and onion and lightly season vegetables with salt and pepper. Add bay leaf and stock and bring liquid to a boil by raising heat. Add turkey and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until any raw vegetables are cooked until tender, about 10 minutes.

Remove stuffing from oven. Using an ice cream scoop, place a healthy scoop of stuffing in the center of a soup bowl. Ladle soup around stuffing ball. Your soup will look like a chunky matzo ball soup. Pull spoonfuls of stuffing away as you eat through your bowl of soup.
