Ok..I hear about all the yankees making soup out of deceased turkey
carcasses...and I happen to have a left over smoked version. It been
simmering for a good bit. What is the next step? Thanks.
For a smoked turkey carcass, I would use the broth for bean, lentil or
split pea soup.
Cook the carcass, drain, pick the meat off of the bones. Taste the
meat. If it is almost tasteless because all the flavor has gone into
the broth, share it with the dogs and cats. Otherwise, set aside to
add to the soup later. Dice an onion , some celery, some carrot and
add to the broth along with (depending upon how much broth you have),
about one pound of whatever legume you have decided to use, salt and
pepper and maybe a bit of garlic.. Simmer until everything is
tender, check for salt. Eat.

Dang your reading my mind here. Did notice the carcass meat was mighty tasteless. Thats why I just drank the juice off of it. Guess that must be bordering on normal. Brilliant idea on the pea soup. That would go with the broth like bread and butter. Is a bit too smokey to pretend its just a regular old turkey. I will save it and pick up peas tomorrow. Thanks a bunch.
