I was impressed by how much the egg yolks contributed to the body of the soup. I did not want to cook rice separately, so I simmered 1 cup of long grain white rice in the stock for 15 minutes before adding the broccoli and turkey and simmering for an additional 5 minutes. This was the only change I made to the recipe.
An easier variation is to simply heat the turkey stock to a low boil, add a 1/2 to one cup of rice (depending on quantity of stock), and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Then add diced turkey and continue simmering until heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Finish with juice of 1/2 to whole lemon.
Turkey carcass soup...yummy.... ok does this sound better, ''turkey soup''.... imo is better then chicken soup by far.
As if i’m invited to a Thanksgiving Dinner, I always ask if they are not going to use the carcass, please send it my way. Yes it’s a little more work, but the reward is worth it....
and no need to add any other stock besides water and herbs & carrots, onion, celery, s& p. and a pinch of old bay should do it.
This was delicious! Made it as written except I put in 1/2 cup of orzo for 15 minutes before I put in the broccoli.
*Sub asparagus 4 Brocc * Add 1 cup of white short-grain rice 15 min before adding meat, etc. *Next time, double broth *Brown rice +30 min before adding meat? Check box
Soooo delicious!!
