The name of this recipe isn’t appetizing. However, this is what the soup entails, so I kept it for clarity purposes.

I imagine most of you threw away what was left of your Thanksgiving turkey. I encourage you to file this recipe away to use next year, or try our suggestion at the end of this post.

Turkey carcass is only good for 5 days if kept refrigerated. Thankfully Tom and I managed to remember we wanted to try this recipe on day five.

This soup is an all day process which serves two purposes.

The first is you get the most out of your turkey. We bought an organic turkey this year which made it more cost effective and extra flavorful. Plus we got at least two different meals out of one bird.

The second purpose is as the stock is simmering on the stove, you get to enjoy the aroma filling the air!

I found this recipe on the Gonna Want Seconds food blog, and yes, this recipe lived up to the blog’s name. In fact I just had seconds for lunch today. Yum!

Tom and I tag-teamed making this soup.

I made the stock and set it on the stove to simmer 4-5 hours as suggested. I had an appointment the two hours before dinner, so Tom made the soup using the strained stock when it was ready.

It was delicious and fun that we both had a part in making dinner.

We served it with toasted sour dough bread some friends had given us and what a treat!

If you don’t want to wait for next year’s turkey, I believe you could make this using a whole chicken as well.

That’s it for now. We hope you made many memories over Thanksgiving week that you will cherish in the years to come.

Have a great weekend.

Blessings,

Tom and Debi ❤️❤️
