Homemade Soup -
The remainder of a Turkey carcass and about 1/2- 3/4 lb. Diced Turkey breast meat.
An entire bunch of thin sliced Celery, about a lb. of thin sliced Carrots, a couple diced russet potatoes, a can of garlic/basil tomatoes, a couple fresh diced tomatoes.
A couple fine diced fresh garlic, wedges. Oh yeah a large fine diced Vidalia onion.
A couple cups of water, a couple tablespoons of Knorr Chicken Buillion, a few shots of EVOO. A few shots of Badia Perfect seasoning, some Kosher salt and some pepper. A few shots of worchestershire.
Crock pot on High for about 4-5 hours, on low for another 4-5 hours. On warm thereafter.
Will add about a double handfull of bow tie (farafalle) pasta towards the end.

Albeit your "advice," on using my dog Buddy's carcass, we did not go that route. Buddy and I are still okay.0 -
Sorry Bro., It is going to be more like a stew, than a soup. I hope that is okay. 0 -

Went grocery shopping last Fri.
Bought way too much food. ($275) A lot of meat deals. Etc.
Got home, started going through the fridge/freezer to toss out the old, in order to make room for the new.
One thing that had to go, was a 8-12 lb. Frozen Turkey (shrink wrapped) from work, given out last Thanksgiving. (Needed the space.) Have been slow thawing it last couple days, with no idea what I was going to do with it. Got home this evening, brainstormed that it would make excellent dog food.
Got it out of the packaging, rinsed it, small amount of EVOO in the bottom of the Dutch oven cooker. Small amount of EVOO over the top. Small amount of salt and pepper. Going for 325* for 4 hours.
I believe Buddy will be most appreciative.
Better than tossing it, or taking it out to the woods.
One question. Covered, or uncovered? Currently it is uncovered. (Very large Old School Cast Iron Dutch Oven Cooker.) Maybe the best bet is covered to start with, uncovered toward the end to brown/crisp it. (I've never cooked a whole Turkey.)
Any vegetables you would add for the dog? (Carrots?) Pot is pretty darn full though. Input welcomed/appreciated.

Keep the carcass and make soup.
Clearly talking about turkey carcass.0 -
Lighten up Francis. 0 -
Just trying to keep the facts straight. I have always maintained that the dog will eventually eat you not the other way around. Do you know who Francis Muldoon was?? 0 -
My dog will ultimately "eat me," when I pass.
I have no problem with that. (Why would I?) If it keeps him alive until I am found, why would I?
I just hope, when they find me, it is not "OMG, the Pit ate him."
My Buddy deserves the best home possible.
My best Friend/Buddy.
How did this thread, get so side tracked?0 -
I would've used the dark meat and gave the pooch all the white meat. When I get a dog I'll buy whole turkeys again. Until then smoked drumsticks and turkey TV dinners. 0 -
A can of corn always adds some "pop" to turkey soup IMO.... 0 -
turkey chili~~
2 pounds lean ground turkey
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chili peppers, drained
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 (1 ounce) envelope instant hot chocolate mix
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
2 small green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1/2 cup cheap beer
this is a tricky one. if you eat it right away you think the hot chocolate mix ruined it. you have to wait a day or two for the chili to mature, then it's pretty good.0 -
The homemade turkey soup sounds good! I have always wondered why Campbells doesn't make canned turkey noodle soup???
I have a 12 pound bird in my freezer I bought on sale a couple months ago. Been having a craving for "Thanksgiving in July" (well, a lot of places do Christmas in July ) but turning on the oven for several hours just doesn't run well with the air conditioner blasting away!
I may just have to fire up my propane smoker and do my Thanksgiving a bit untraditional. Hmmmm, :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:
Finally found use for that light bulb icon! I don't know about You all but all of the new icons in the new format kind of suck IMO. That is my only complaint. All else is groovy!
Now my question. Would you smoke your 12 LB bird whole or cut it up and smoke the pieces??0 -
What I really need is a big bunch of Kale chopped up. Mmmnnn..........
Good stuff though. Been cooking it down. May have to indeed add some corn niblets.
About to have my first bowl full.
Last minute addition. I forgot that I have about 3 lbs. of fresh mushrooms from PA. Added about 3-4 cups of diced Criminie and Oyster mushrooms. Good stuff.
Another late addition, an entire ear of sweet corn, sliced off the cob. Good stuff.
Mouth watering. Smells awesome.

Brookwood - Fry it. Since you got a propane source. Just don't catch the porch on fire. The it'll really be like 4th of July .0
