Leftover turkey soup
Components:
All of your leftover turkey meat and the carcass
1 onion
1 carrot
2 leeks
3 stalks of celery
3 cloves of garlic, finely diced
Thyme
Peppercorns
Bay leaves
Greens (any you will have leftover, plus a few uncooked carrots and leeks)
Knob of butter
Sprint of cream
Couple tbsp of dijon mustard
Methodology:
Start by making the inventory. Strip the turkey of its meat and put aside. Put the carcass in a big pot with the carrot, one leek, onion, lashings of salt and peppercorns and canopy with two litres of water, or thereabouts. Simmer away for so long as you need – not less than an hour. It’s also possible to flip the warmth off and go away the inventory to additional deepen in flavour in a single day (I like to recommend leaving it within the oven with the warmth turned off for this half).
Pressure the inventory earlier than you utilize it to separate the bits from the liquid and set the liquid apart. Discard the carcass and greens.
Chop your leeks into discs and celery into half moons. Prep any of the opposite greens you’ll be utilizing as effectively by slicing them into bite-size items. Take away the thyme leaves from the stalks.
Warmth a knob of butter in a saucepan on medium warmth till it has melted. Add the leeks and celery and sauté till mushy. Add any uncooked greens right here, too, equivalent to carrots. One they’ve cooked down a little bit, add the garlic and fry it off so it loses its bitter uncooked style. Add the turkey (or rooster) meat and fry for a pair extra minutes. Add round 1.5 litres of the inventory and the thyme and bubble away for round 20 minutes on a low warmth. As soon as this has all bubbled away properly, add in any of the already cooked leftover greens – equivalent to roasted sprouts or carrots – and go away to bubble for an extra 5 minutes. Combine in a single or two tablespoons of Dijon mustard and a splash of cream and season with salt and pepper. Style, and alter as applicable (you may wish to add extra salt, yet one more spoonful of mustard or a contact extra pepper). If you happen to’re hoping to show this combine right into a pie, add the roux now to thicken the sauce.
Serve heat and luxuriate in!
