NO-FUSS TURKEY NOODLE SOUP



No-Fuss Turkey Noodle Soup image

Make good use of your leftover dark meat without the fuss of boiling the carcass. Simply pick through the carcass before you toss the bird and save the meat for a quick next-day soup. Serve with warm bread for a great hot meal on a cold winter day. I substitute fresh herbs wherever possible, but for a quick meal after the intense preparation of a whole turkey, dried herbs do nicely. If you don't have chipotle chili powder, regular chili powder can be substituted. The chipotle provides a very light smoky flavor in the background. White meat can be used, but your broth will be less flavorful. Leftovers freeze well. Use whatever type pasta you prefer.

A healthy dinner using leftover turkey and broth. Very nice with Kittencal's Coleslaw # 144435. I used the turkey removed from the carcass after cooking it all night in the crockpot with water to make broth. I also took off any fat from the broth before adding to the dish.

Valuable Tips when making After Thanksgiving Turkey and Noodles Recipes

After Thanksgiving, there is always an abundance of leftover turkey. Instead of simply reheating the turkey and eating it as is, you can create delicious meals out of it. Turkey and Noodles is one dish that many people love to make with their leftover turkey. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind when making after Thanksgiving turkey and noodles recipes:

1. Cook the Noodles Separate From the Turkey

When making turkey and noodles, it's important to cook the two separately. This is because the noodles will cook much quicker than the turkey. If you cook the turkey and the noodles together, you risk overcooking the turkey while waiting for the noodles to cook. Additionally, the noodles may become overcooked and mushy if they are in the pot for too long.

2. Use Homemade Stock

If possible, try to use homemade stock for your turkey and noodles recipe. Homemade stock will have more flavor compared to store-bought stock, which can often be bland. You can easily make homemade stock by simmering the turkey bones with aromatics like onions, celery, and carrots.

3. Don't Overcook the Turkey

Overcooked turkey can be dry and tough, which is why it's important to make sure that it's cooked just right. When reheating the turkey, avoid cooking it for too long. You can also add the turkey to the pot towards the end of the cooking process to ensure that it doesn't overcook.

4. Add Veggies for Extra Nutrition

Turkey and Noodles is a great way to sneak in some extra veggies into your diet. Carrots, celery, and onions are great options to add to your dish. These veggies will not only add flavor, but also add nutrients to your meal.

5. Use Heavy Cream for Creaminess

If you want to add some creaminess to your turkey and noodles, consider using heavy cream. Heavy cream will give your dish a rich, smooth texture that is sure to please. However, if you are watching your calorie intake, you can use milk instead of heavy cream.

6. Add Herbs and Spices for Flavor

Herbs and spices can make a huge difference in the flavor of your dish. Sage, thyme, and bay leaves are great herbs to add to your recipe. Additionally, you can add spices like garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to give it some extra flavor.

7. Cook the Noodles Al Dente

When cooking the noodles, make sure to cook them al dente. This means that the noodles should be cooked through, but still have a slight firmness to them. This will prevent the noodles from becoming overcooked and mushy as they sit in the pot.

8. Don't Overcrowd the Pot

When cooking your turkey and noodles, make sure to not overcrowd the pot. Overcrowding can cause the noodles to stick together or become mushy. Additionally, it can cause the temperature in the pot to drop, which can lead to uneven cooking.

9. Reheat Leftovers Gently

If you have leftover turkey and noodles, make sure to reheat them gently. You can do this by reheating in the microwave or in a pot on the stove. However, make sure to stir frequently to avoid uneven heating.

10. Experiment with Different Noodle Shapes

While egg noodles are commonly used in turkey and noodles, you can mix it up by using different noodle shapes. For example, you can use fusilli, farfalle, or even udon noodles. Different noodle shapes can give your dish a unique texture and flavor.

Conclusion

Turkey and Noodles is a classic recipe that is perfect for using up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. By following these valuable tips, you can ensure that your dish turns out perfectly every time. Remember to cook the noodles separately from the turkey and to use homemade stock for maximum flavor. Additionally, don't overcook the turkey and experiment with different herbs and spices to give your dish some extra flavor.
