Turkey Noodle Stew Recipes

TURKEY NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• In an eight quart kettle or Dutch oven place turkey bones, water -- down through to and including the bay leaf.
• Heat to boiling; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour.
• Remove the bones to a platter and let c ool.
• Add the parsley through to green beans.
• Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, scrape meat from carcass and return meat to soup pot. Add liquid if required.
• Heat to boiling; add noodles and cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
• Melt butter in a small frying pan; stir in flour.
• Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the flour browns.
• Stir into boiling soup.
• When the soup returns to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Serve hot in large bowls - as if there were any other kind! - Enjoy.
• Notes: I serve this with fresh French Bread and butter.
• I have used yellow beans and a mixture of both.
• Once I wound up using frozen mixed vegetables - and it was still good.
• On two makings, chicken was substituted for the turkey - and it turned out well.
• Hints on Herbs and Spices: To substitute dried herbs for fresh, use 1/3 tsp powdered or 1/2 tsp crushed for every Tbsp of fresh chopped herbs.
• To test for dryness before packing (in case of drying f resh herbs for winter use) put a few sprigs or leaves in a tightly covered jar and watch for condensation.
• Store herbs in tightly covered jars, away from heat. Add mint, oregano, basil and any other dried herbs to recipes at the end or near end of cooking time for a more pronounced flavour.
• If you are enlarging recipes, spice to taste rather than to measure. When preparing cooked foods for freezing, it is advisable to under-season them with herbs or spices, then add more seasoning to taste when you reheat them and you will have the ultimate in flavour.

TURKEY STEW

Steps:

• Dissolve the bouillon in the hot water to make a broth; set aside.
• Place the turkey meat, turkey bone, all the vegetables, flour, both rices, spices and chicken broth in a large kettle or Dutch oven
• Add as much of the 4 cups water as you prefer for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer over low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the carrots and celery are tender and the turkey meat is heated through.
• Remove the turkey bone before serving stew.
• NOTE - you can easily use pasta in place of the rice. Just omit both the white and wild rices, and add about 1 cup uncooked egg noodles (or other pasta).
• TIP - I like to use a combination of white and dark meat when making this turkey stew, as I think it produces a much tastier stew. But you could easily use only white or only dark meat, to suit your taste buds.
• TIP - if you're watching your sodium intake, you can easily omit the chicken buillon cube in hot water and replace it with 1 cup of low-sodium canned chicken broth. For our health, we should consider this option but we are die-hard fans of this recipe and haven't been able to bring ourselves to do that -- at least not yet!
