Steps:
- In an eight quart kettle or Dutch oven place turkey bones, water -- down through to and including the bay leaf.

- Stir into boiling soup.
- When the soup returns to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Serve hot in large bowls - as if there were any other kind! - Enjoy.
- Notes: I serve this with fresh French Bread and butter.
- I have used yellow beans and a mixture of both.
- Once I wound up using frozen mixed vegetables - and it was still good.
- On two makings, chicken was substituted for the turkey - and it turned out well.
- Hints on Herbs and Spices: To substitute dried herbs for fresh, use 1/3 tsp powdered or 1/2 tsp crushed for every Tbsp of fresh chopped herbs.
- To test for dryness before packing (in case of drying f resh herbs for winter use) put a few sprigs or leaves in a tightly covered jar and watch for condensation.
- Store herbs in tightly covered jars, away from heat. Add mint, oregano, basil and any other dried herbs to recipes at the end or near end of cooking time for a more pronounced flavour.
- If you are enlarging recipes, spice to taste rather than to measure. When preparing cooked foods for freezing, it is advisable to under-season them with herbs or spices, then add more seasoning to taste when you reheat them and you will have the ultimate in flavour.

Tips:
- Use a good quality turkey broth. This is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a broth that is flavorful and rich. You can make your own turkey broth, or you can use a store-bought broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, look for one that is low in sodium.
- Don't overcook the turkey. Turkey can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. To prevent this, cook the turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add vegetables that will hold their shape. Some vegetables, such as carrots and celery, will hold their shape better than others, such as spinach and tomatoes. When choosing vegetables for your soup, keep this in mind.
- Season the soup to taste. Once the soup is finished, taste it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for turkey noodle soup include croutons, crackers, and shredded cheese.
Conclusion:
Turkey noodle soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and hearty turkey noodle soup that the whole family will enjoy.
