Aunt Wandas Turkey Carcass Soup

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!

Step: 1

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.

Step: 2

Bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for an hour or so. Add more water as needed.

Step: 3

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.
