CC/CA (11:13:21 pm) : Turkey and Cranberry Chowder
1 turkey carcass
4 bay leaves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
4 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 onion, diced
4 tablespoons flour
10 cups chicken broth, and/or water
1 potato, peeled and diced
1 1/2 pounds raw or cooked turkey
(or meat left on carcass, diced)
1 teaspoon salt, or as desired
1/4 cup vinegar
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh cranberries
1/2 cup sour cream
REMOVE THE MEAT FROM THE TURKEY CARCASS and reserve. You'll need about 1
pound of meat for dinner. Break up the carcass, wrap it in cheesecloth with
bay leaves and peppercorns and set aside. Melt the butter in a large pot,
add carrot, celery and onion and cook over medium heat, stirring
occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, then slowly add the water and
broth. Add the carcass, cover and bring to a boil. Remove cover and cook 45
minutes. Remove and discard the carcass. Add potato and cook 10 minutes.
Place the turkey and salt in the pot and cook 10 minutes more.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the vinegar and sugar. Let cook until
there is no liquid left and the sugar begins to turn dark golden brown.
Immediately add the cranberries. Lower heat, cover and let cook 5 minutes,
or until the cranberries compote. Pour into a serving bowl. When it's time
for dinner, strain the soup into a tureen. Decorate each soup bowl with a
mixture of diced vegetables, potato and turkey. Ladle the soup at the table
and pass the cranberry compote and sour cream.

CC/CA (11:13:56 pm) : Turkey Revenge Soup
1 turkey carcass, wings & all scraps left over after carving
gravy, any left over
vegetables, (any left over)
2 carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery with leaves, chopped, (optional)
1 12 ounce green beans, no salt, drained
2 quarts boiling water
onion, or celery, potatoes, peelings, leafy tops left over
carrot
garlic clove, several bruised
12 ounces wide egg noodles
1 12 oz. can corn, no salt added, drained
1 white onion, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
Cut wings off carcass and cut up the remaining bird as you would a chicken
for frying. Place the carcass pieces and any left over peelings and parings
into a stock pot and fill with water. Add garlic cloves. Fill the stock pot
with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook
until the liquid is reduced by 1/3. Remove from heat to cool cover and
refrigerate overnight. The next day remove the congealed fat from the top of
the broth. Drain the contents through a colander into another large pot.
Return the broth to the stock pot. Go through the colander and remove
vegetable and garlic pieces and discard. Next, go through the turkey
remnants and pull out all the meat and add to the stock pot. Add any left
over vegetables, carrots, celery, corn, green beans and the onion to the
pot. There should be *just* enough liquid to cover the contents. Place over
heat and bring to a boil. While you're waiting, cook the egg noodles per
package directions and drain. Simmer the soup just long enough to cook the
carrots. Add 2 quarts of water, egg noodles and left over gravy. Adjust
seasonings (salt and pepper). Stir well, let simmer long enough to heat
noodles and serve.
