| Turkey Noodle Soup |
Whether your turkey began as the featured entrée for
Thanksgiving or Christmas or a special meal request from your favourite
birthday girl or boy, it can have a great second life when you turn it into
stock and then into soup.
And why, you ask, would you want to take the time to make
your own turkey stock? First, I am not aware of any commercially available
turkey stock (although commercially prepared chicken stock is a great
substitute). Second, it’ll make you feel down-to-the-bone good about using up
every last scrap of the bird. Then, there is the healthy benefit of being able
to control what’s in the stock. For me, I just love how the aroma of the
simmering stock fills up the house. And, of course, there’s the delicious
turkey noodle soup you can make with the stock.
This is a very basic stock. You can apply the same technique
to make stock from a leftover chicken carcass. Here are a few tips for the
novice stock makers out there.
