MOM'S OLD FASHIONED TURKEY AND NOODLES
At home we had noodles quite a bit because mom could make them up, cook them fast and they were inexpensive for a family of four. She would put leftover roast beef chicken, ham or turkey with them and a few pantry vegetables. They were true comfort food and filling enough even for dad. Fall and winter bring my thoughts back home...

Steps:
- 1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil to medium high. Salt and pepper the turkey thighs on both sides. Place the thighs in the pan and brown well on all sides.
- 2. When the turkey is well browned, add the chunks of vegetables and the garlic and saute them for a few minutes.Add the chicken broth, water (just enough to cover the turkey and veggies) and bay leaves. Add poultry seasoning here if desired.
- 3. Bring to a boil and then turn down heat to medium and simmer the mixture until turkey is tender and the internal temperature is 160 to 170 degrees F. Remove turkey from broth, let cool. Remove skin and bone from turkey and discard. Chop meat into bite sized chunks.
- 4. Strain broth through a sieve and discard the vegetables. Defat the broth, place back into the Dutch oven, bring to a boil and add the noodles. Turn heat to medium and add the cubed or sliced vegetables. Cook until noodles are tender, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. (Cooking generally takes longer than is indicated on the package for these noodles.)
- 5. When noodles are tender to your preference, add the chopped turkey meat and heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste. By the time the noodles are done, and the turkey reheated, most of the broth should be absorbed and thickened. (If you like more broth, add another can of chicken broth) Serve HOT.

Steps:
- In an eight quart kettle or Dutch oven place turkey bones, water -- down through to and including the bay leaf.
- Heat to boiling; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour.
- Remove the bones to a platter and let c ool.
- Add the parsley through to green beans.
- Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, scrape meat from carcass and return meat to soup pot. Add liquid if required.
- Heat to boiling; add noodles and cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Melt butter in a small frying pan; stir in flour.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the flour browns.
- 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:
- To make the turkey noodle soup more flavorful, use a whole turkey carcass instead of just the breast. The carcass will add a lot of flavor to the broth.
- If you don't have a whole turkey carcass, you can use a combination of turkey bones and meat. Just be sure to use at least 2 pounds of bones for a flavorful broth.
- For a more hearty soup, add more vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and potatoes.
- If you want a creamy soup, add a cup of milk or cream to the broth.
- Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.

Old-fashioned turkey noodle soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have a leftover turkey, be sure to make a pot of this delicious soup.
