Turkey Leftovers - Vegetable Soup
Turkey

Use a turkey carcass that hasn’t been completely stripped of meat—although too much skin still adhering to it can make the soup oily.

Ingredients
1 leftover turkey carcass, with some meat still on the bones
3 1/2 quarts water
2 bay leaves
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium rutabaga, peeled and diced
1 medium parsnip, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon salt, or additional to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
1. Place carcass, water and bay leaves in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. If carcass is not fully submerged, break it into pieces. Cover and bring to a simmer over high heat. Skim off foam, reduce heat to low, and simmer 1 hour.
2. Transfer bones to a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Discard bay leaves. Add remaining ingredients to broth; simmer, uncovered, about 1 hour or until vegetables are tender.
3. Remove meat from bones. Chop, stir into soup, and simmer 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Taste and add more salt if needed before serving. Serves 6.
