Turkey Velvet Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a stockpot, place turkey carcass, water and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 4-5 hours. , Remove carcass from stock. Remove any meat; dice. Return to stock along with rice, onion, celery, carrots, bay leaf and poultry seasoning. Add remaining seasonings to taste. Cover; simmer over medium-low heat until rice is cooked. Discard bay leaf.

Steps:

• Clean and slice the leek and sweat in a little butter. Add half the turkey stock and the potatoes. As my potatoes were already cooked, I was able to blitz the soup with my hand-held blender; if they are raw.
• Simmer until the potatoes are cooked and THEN blitz the mixture with a blender or food processor.
• Add the vegetables and tarragon and bring to a boil.
• When the carrots are tender, add the turkey meat.
• Bring back to a boil and then turn down the heat so that the soup simmers. Pour a spoonful of the hot soup into the cream, mix and then add the cream to the soup. (This should keep the soup from curdling).
• Stir well and taste for salt and pepper. You may well find it needs a bit of salt. A good grinding of pepper will also add a little bite to the velvet creaminess.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and fry for 5 minutes or so, stirring every now and then until it starts to soften.
• To make the soup, add the red pepper, ground coriander, chilli and rice and stir round the pan for about a minute. Pour in the hot stock, stir in the turkey and chickpeas and season well. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables and rice are tender. Stir in the coriander or parsley and it's ready. (The soup may now be cooled and frozen for up to 1 month.)

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, combine the broth, potatoes, carrots, celery and onions. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. , Add the corn, lima beans, turkey, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer 10 minutes longer.
