Aunt Wanda's Turkey Carcass Soup image

Eat to your heart's content the day after and/or freeze in several units. Take out of the freezer and heat in the zapper or in a double boiler. Enjoy that T-Day turkey until New Year's. Despite the name it is a really great soup that my sister's friend shared with me. This recipe is meant to use up any leftover vegetables and other ingredients; leftover green beans would make a great addition. Celery, onions, spinach and cabbage are tasty, too!

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 carcass
3 large carrots, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can cut green beans, drained
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
1 cup chopped cabbage
2 cups white rice

Steps:

  • Pick your Thanksgiving turkey nearly clean. (Turkey salad is great for a few days, or even turkey pot pies.) We are not real concerned about the choice meat here. Dump the turkey and all of its debris, including the juices, into a large pot. Add green beans, celery, spinach, cabbage, and white rice. Pour in enough water to cover everything.
  • Bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for an hour or so. Add more water as needed.
  • Remove all turkey bones and unwanted debris (i.e., skin, cartilage, etc.). There you have it. It's kind of a culinary scrapbook of your Turkey Day.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but this soup was surprisingly good! The broth was flavorful and the meat was tender. I also liked the addition of the vegetables, which added a nice sweetness and crunch. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it helped a bit, but it still wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked. I also found the meat to be a bit dry.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out perfectly! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.
