Ingredients
- 1 turkey carcass with considerable meat
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1 large onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sprig of thyme
- Enough water to cover the turkey carcass
Instructions
- Prep the Broth: Break up the turkey carcass and place it in a large kettle. Add the chopped onion, seasoning with salt, pepper, and the sprig of thyme. Pour in enough water to cover everything.
π§ Remember, a good broth is the foundation of a great stew, so feel free to add any leftover vegetables you have on hand for extra flavor!
-
Simmer Away: Cook over medium heat until the meat falls off the bones, about 1 to 2 hours. Keep an eye on the water level, adding more if necessary.
-
Strain and Chop: Once the meat is tender, carefully remove all the bones. Take a moment to chop the turkey into small, bite-sized pieces.
-
Thicken the Stew: In a small bowl, mix the flour with Β½ cup of the broth to create a smooth paste. Add this mixture to the boiling soup to thicken it.
-
Final Touches: Stir in the chopped turkey and continue to cook until the stew thickens to your desired consistency.
π₯ For added depth, consider throwing in a bay leaf while the stew simmers. Just remember to remove it before serving!
Variations
- Vegetable Boost: Add diced carrots, celery, or potatoes during the simmering stage for a more hearty stew! π₯π₯
- Spicy Kick: Throw in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to give your stew a bit of heat!
- Leftover Magic: This is a fantastic way to use up holiday turkey! Just make sure to trim any excess fat for a healthier soup.
Feel free to get creative with your ingredients and enjoy the warmth of this cherished family recipe! π
