TURKEY SKELETON RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, add the turkey carcass, stock, water, celery, onion, carrot and one bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove the carcass with tongs and discard. Pour the stock through a large strainer into a bowl. Discard the solids.
• Back in the stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the sweet potato and pearl onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and bloom for 30 seconds. Add the frozen veggies, turkey meat, remaining bay leaf and reserved turkey stock. Let simmer another 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes have become tender.
• Serve with parsley and crackers!

Steps:

• Place the turkey carcass in a large pot. Cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 2 hours. Strain and reserve stock (reserving excess turkey meat, if desired). Transfer stock back to pot, and bring back to a simmer. You should have about 6 cups of stock. Add the diced carrots, celery, bay leaf, thyme, and shredded turkey. Cook until vegetables are just tender, about 12 minutes. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with dill before serving.
