EGG LEMON SOUP WITH TURKEY

Egg Lemon Soup With Turkey image

Modeled after a classic Greek egg lemon soup, this is one of many light, comforting soups that make a nice home for leftover turkey. If you haven't made stock with the turkey carcass, a quick garlic or vegetable stock will do. Make sure that the soup is not at a boil when you add the tempered egg-lemon mixture, or the egg yolks will curdle. The soup should be creamy.
