How to Make Turkey Soup From The Left Over Turkey

Make turkey soup from the left over turkey, bones and all with only one purchased item.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cooked turkey ( bones also )
• Lipton Noodle soup
• Large pot
• Large bowl
• Cheesecloth
• Strainer
• Extra turkey meat if desired

1. Take a large pot, and place the turkey inside. Fill with enough water until you cover the turkey with about an inch of water.

2. Turn the heat to high until the water just begins to boil. Now reduce to simmer. Cook for 2 to 3 hours until the bones begin to soften. Use a pair of tongs to squeeze a large bone and see if it starts to crumble.

3. Remove the pot and pour into the strainer lined with cheese cloth into a large bowl. You now have turkey stock, which you place back into the large pot.

4. Put the pot back onto the stove to keep at a simmer. Any meat on the bones should have fallen off. Pick through the bones and place meat in the pot.

5. Add two packages of Lipton Noodle soup as per the directions. Then enjoy on a cold winter day.

Tips & Warnings

• Add salt or seasoning after Step 5.
• If you would like more base flavor add chick bouillon, I recommend a product called Better than Bouillon
• If you don't have a lid, you will need to add a little water occasionally to keep the water level high enough in the pot.
• If you use a bird that has been over cooked, it tasted dry when you ate it, it may not taste as good cause the bones have had the good stuff cooked out.
