One of the best ways to use up a turkey carcass is to make turkey carcass soup. Here's a simple recipe to make turkey soup from scratch:
- Break down the roast turkey and remove all the meat from the bones.
- Place the turkey carcass in a large stock pot and add seasonings such as onion, carrots, celery, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, and fresh parsley.
- Cover the turkey with water and simmer for about 2 hours to make a rich and flavorful stock.
- Strain the stock and reserve it for the soup.
- Add diced carrots, celery, bay leaf, thyme, and shredded turkey to the stock and simmer until the vegetables are tender.
This soup is a great way to use up leftover turkey and is loaded with healthy vegetables, lean turkey meat, and homemade broth
