This cream of turkey soup is a version of Valorie Walker’s recipe with a few of my changes. Enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 turkey carcass
- 1 cup butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 large carrots, diced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 4 ounces fettuccine, broken into 2-inch pieces
- ¼ cup prepared stuffing, or more to taste
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
- ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pinch poultry seasoning, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place turkey carcass in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Remove carcass and allow to cool. Separate turkey meat from bones. Cut meat into bite-sized pieces; discard bones. Reserve 12 cups turkey broth in a large bowl. Save remaining broth for another use.
Step 2
Melt butter in the same large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, and carrots in hot butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour; cook and stir until smooth, about 5 minutes. Gradually stir in 4 cups reserved turkey broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in remaining 8 cups turkey broth, turkey meat, half-and-half, fettuccine, stuffing, salt, bouillon, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes more.
Recipe Tip
If you like and have the time, you can put the turkey carcass on a baking sheet and roast it in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 1 hour. Then, follow the recipe as written.
