Turkey Vegetable Soup

Get another great meal from that turkey!

The advantage of having a leftover cooked turkey is you can make your own bone broth. Bone broth is popular for minerals and collagen which can help with digestive and bone health. When paired in a soup with lots of vegetables and their vitamins, it’s a win. Unused stock can be frozen.

Turkey Bone Broth
Preparation time: 2-10 hours

Carcass from cooked turkey
2 medium carrots, chunked
2 stalks of celery, chunked
1 medium onion, chunked
2 tsp. minced fresh basil
2 cloves garlic, whole
¼ tsp. poultry seasoning
1 bay leaf
Approximately 4 quarts of water
2 Tbsp vinegar

Directions for Turkey Bone Broth

Remove the tail, and any skin, and discard. Pick meat off turkey, and reserve. Break up the bones to fit into a large stockpot. Add the celery, onion, basil, garlic, and poultry seasoning. Add the water with vinegar which should be at least 2 inches above the bones. Bring to boil, let simmer on low heat for at least 1 ½ hours, ideally overnight (8+ hrs) for greater flavor. Strain and let sit to cool, skim the fat at the top. If not using immediately, cool completely in the refrigerator so the fat congeals and can be more easily removed.

Clients Reviews

We needed to correct structural issues to our basement to reduce the amount of noise downstairs. The problem of uneven flooring was worse than anticipated, but Cook Remodeling identified each and every issue, discussed it with us and found solutions. They started exactly on time and finished ahead of expectations. We did a total kitchen remodel, redid the fireplace and media wall in our family room. Every Cook Remodeling employee was professional, talented, trustworthy, courteous, and respectful–they are in a class all their own. We gave them complete access to our home. They treated it as if it were their own home. We have never felt 100% comfortable with a contractor’s employees and their workmanship before this, all of them at Cook Remodeling were incredible. Cook Remodeling did an amazing, outstanding job. We highly recommend Cook Remodeling and Custom Construction.
