Turkey Spew

Not a soup. Not a stew….a SPEW.

Perhaps you’ve finished with the turkey sandwiches, and are ready to make soup.

Pick the remaining good meat off the carcass and set aside….

In a large pot, put the entire carcass, all the brown crispy bits from the pan if there are any left, 2 onions, 2 carrots, 1 fennel, 2 turnips, a full bunch of parsley, 2 brances of celery with the leaves still on, a small handfull of black peppercorns, and salt.  Cover with water and boil, then simmer for 3 hours.

Drain the stock through a seive and discard all the bones and other solids.

Sauté 2 onions, 2 carrots, 5 turnips, 3 crelery branches without the leaves, 3 cloves garlic all chopped into small pieces in some olive oil.

Add 3 cups wild rice. Sauté like a risotto.

Add turkey meat.

Finally, add the stock and cook again for 1 hour.
