A comforting and flavorful soup made with turkey and fresh vegetables, perfect for a cozy meal.
Place the turkey carcass in a large soup pot and cover with water.
Breaking the carcass into smaller pieces can help it fit better in the pot and release more flavor.
Add the onion, celery stalks, carrots, garlic cloves, and seasonings to the pot.
Chop the vegetables roughly as they will be strained out later.
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour.
Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during simmering.
Strain the broth into another pot, discarding the solids.
Use a fine-mesh strainer for a clearer broth.
Remove any meat from the turkey carcass and set aside.
Shred the meat into bite-sized pieces for easier eating.
Return the broth to the pot and add the diced carrots, chopped celery, and parsley.
Adding fresh vegetables at this stage ensures they retain their texture and flavor.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Add the egg noodles and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
