Diet - Leftover Turkey Soup

Yes, Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away and before you know it, you'll be wondering what to do with your leftovers. Here's a great recipe for leftover turkey soup!

Ingredients

1 turkey carcass
4 C. water
8 C. chicken stock
4 large onions, 1 quartered and 3 chopped
1 C. turnip, peeled and diced
1 C. celery, chopped
4 carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips
1/4 C. fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 tsp. thyme (dried)
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 C. pearl barley
1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes
1 can (16 oz.) white beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 lb. leftover light turkey meat, bite-size pieces

Directions

In a large stockpot, combine the turkey carcass, water, broth and quartered onion. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Strain the mixture, discarding the carcass and onion. Chill the liquid in the refrigerator — overnight, if possible — and skim off the fat from the broth's surface. Return the liquid to the stockpot. Add the remaining ingredients to the broth mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for about 1 hour. Ladle into individual bowls and serve.
