Homemade Turkey Noodle Soup

Homemade Turkey Noodle Soup (Page 3 ) | October 22, 2023

Notes
If using prepared broth, add ½ teaspoon of poultry seasoning to soup with the vegetables.
Flour is optional but we prefer the consistency of the broth with a little bit of flour cooked in.
*Cooking the Noodles: Cook the noodles separately, this keeps them from getting mushy. If you are not planning for leftovers, the noodles can be cooked directly in the broth. Leftover soup should be stored separately from the noodles.
The broth can be prepared 3 days in advance and refrigerated.
If your turkey carcass is large, break it apart to fit in the pot.
If using a smaller carcass, either reduce the water or add a spoonful of bouillon (I like Better Than Bouillon turkey or chicken).
For a deeper flavor, a little bit of boxed broth or no sodium broth can be added in place of some of the water if desired.
Because the turkey is already cooked, it should be added at the end and just heated through so it doesn’t dry out.
Leftover gravy can be added to the soup. It can also be thickened with a scoop or two of leftover mashed potatoes.
