Homemade turkey soup recipes are no different from chicken soup recipes. What makes a turkey soup explode with flavor and nutrition is working with the carcass and bones. Yes, boiling them and wringing out every last drop of the goodiness in them. There's liquid gold in them thar turkey bones!
Soups with Leftover Turkey
Soups with leftover turkey can be designed with just about anything in them. You can simply clean out your vegetable crisper and use whatever you have in this soup. Now I'm adding some different ingredients, like parsnips. It's fun to try new vegetables. And, if your peeps won't eat these new veggies by themselves, just throw them in a good ol' soup and they'll never know.
Turkey Soup with Wild Rice
I love potatoes in my soup. And, that's why I skipped wild rice and used Yukon gold potatoes. They're just buttery and creamy tasting. The skins are super thin so no need to peel them. Just make sure you scrub them really well and get them clean.
Old Fashioned Turkey Soup
Nothing more comforting than old fashioned turkey soup. And, this soup is how my Mom used to make it back in those hills of West Virginia. Mom never wasted anything. And, I'd watch her boil bones from a birds until they were clean as a whistle. She'd get every last sliver of meat off them. And, she'd make sure the stock we were eating was full of nutrients form the bone marrow.
Turkey Carcass Soup with Barley
Another thing I love in chicken or turkey soup is barley. It's such an earthy grain. But, again, with this soup I chose potatoes as my starch. If you want to swap out potatoes for rice or barley, then no problem. As I always preach to you, my recipes are simply springboard for your ideas and creativity! Now I love me some barley, and this beef barley mushroom soup is a definite must make.
