What To Do With The Leftovers: Turkey Noodle Soup

A little sage makes this Turkey Noodle Soup a little different

Makes 2 quarts

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 40 minutes

Turkey carcass

Any odd pieces of turkey meat, and chopped pieces of turkey you’re willing to dedicate to soup

4-5 carrots, peeled and sliced or chopped – your preference

Celery-all the leaves, plus about 4-5 good sized stalks cut in half lengthwise and chopped

1/2 large yellow onion, chopped

1 generous tsp of dried rubbed sage

6 cups water or chicken stock

salt and pepper to taste (add after soup is cooked)

2 cups of cooked noodles- I like egg noodles, but small shells are also great for this!

Directions:

1. Put turkey carcass and stock into a large soup pot, you may need to break the carcass in half to fit the pot, heat on medium heat (you should never boil soup!)
2. When stock is almost boiling add all vegetables and herbs
3. Cook for 30-40 minutes on low heat
4. Taste for seasoning, then add cooked noodles and turkey meat
