BONNIE'S TURKEY SOUP

Steps:

• MAKE THE SOUP STOCK FIRST: Add garlic, parsley, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, red pepper, and bay leaves to the kettle with the turkey carcass. Slowly bring to a boil; skim foam. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours. Leave broth in the kettle. Discard bay leaves. Remove carcass; set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove turkey from bones; discard bones. Cut turkey into bite-size pieces; set aside.
• MAKE THE SOUP: Saute onion, carrot, celery in a large skillet until vegetables are tender, add the garlic. Add a splash of wine to the pan and transfer the veggies to the soup kettle into the stock. Bring the soup to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until almost tender, then add the reserved turkey and frozen peas. Simmer until noodles and peas are tender and serve.
• COOK'S TIP: Grandma's noodles are our preference if they can be found. We get ours at Smith's or Walmart. Wide egg noodles are the second noodle choice. Corn dumplings may also be used instead of noodles. Enjoy!

BONNIE'S TURKEY POPPERS FROM LEFTOVERS

Steps:

• 1. Gather all your ingredients before you begin. Bake on a parchment lined pan in a 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. The homemade biscuit recipe makes 9 biscuits.
• 2. FILLING Place turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce in small dishes. Use a flat plate to assemble poppers.
• 3. HOMEMADE BISCUITS (Skip this section if you are using canned biscuits and go to step 8 for instructions on rolling) Biscuit ingredients: You will need all purpose and bread flour, chilled Crisco, salt, baking powder, and chilled buttermilk. Whisk all ingredients well except the buttermilk.. (Yes, you can use the buttermilk blend if you wish.)
• 4. Cut the chilled Crisco into flour until it is the size of small peas.
• 5. Add about half of the chilled buttermilk to the flour mixture and then the rest a little at a time until you have enough to make a craggy dough. Handle it gently to get a nice flaky biscuit. You want dough that you can roll out and handle with your hands. But you must not overmix the dough.
• 6. Roll out the ball of dough, and roll it to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a medium size biscuit cutter.
• 7. Like this.
• 8. Roll each biscuit flat and lay on a flat plate to fill. It is easiest to roll and fill one popper at a time and then place the finished popper on the baking pan, seam side down. (It will look fine after it is baked)
• 9. Now for the fun part. The filling! This is easy. Just put 1 teaspoon of stuffing and one teaspoon of cranberry sauce and one teaspoon of diced turkey on a rolled out flat biscuit..
• 10. Gather edges to enclose the filling in the popper.
• 11. Pinch the edges together.
• 12. Form the filled dough into a round ball. Place the balls on a parchment lined, shallow baking pan.
• 13. Lightly beat an egg and brush the tops of the poppers.
• 14. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Store them in a ziplock bag in the fridge after they have cooled. Enjoy!
• 15. These Poppers are wonderful heated up in the microwave for 30 seconds as a quick meal.
• 16. Here is how it looks! Spoon hot turkey gravy on top and Serve and Enjoy!
