Chicken soup made with turkey

[teller80]

I love homemade chicken noodle soup, I make and freeze broth alot. Seeing as turkey is pretty cheap, can I use it instead? How would if affect the taste?

Thank you!

I do that every year after Thanksgiving. The turkey gives it a slightly richer taste in my opinion.

Yes turkey can be used instead. It doesn't make much of a taste difference except that I notice it is slightly greasier.

Turkey noodle soup is a real thing and it will taste great! Enjoy it!

After Thanksgiving (or any turkey meal since I cook one every couple of months), I boil the bones to make broth. After it cools off I put it in the fridge. The fat congeals at the top. I just scrape the fat off. Then I make turkey soup, turkey pot pie, all sorts of fun stuff! I freeze them in single portion sizes for lunches.

I also make turkey rice soup with the carcass from our Thanksgiving turkey.

Would you mind posting (or messaging) me your chicken noodle soup recipe? I make chicken broth all the time, but whenever I make soup, it's so bland. Thank you.

I like to thicken mine, more of a white sauce. With a tad of butter chop the turkey with celery and onions, then I add 1/4 cup flour over and stir. Then I start adding he broth to let it thicken up. Add everything else.

After Thanksgiving I add the peas, to it. For left over gravy I make an open face Sandwhich meal.

I usually save the carcass and the drumsticks. Here is my blog http://tinkmomfoodie-foodobsession.blogspot.com/search?q=turkey+soup

Mom always made turkey rice soup from the carcass of the roasted bird. There'd be lot of little turkey bits to pick off after simmering. She used celery, onion carrots, salt/pepper.
I like to simmer the carcass first with a peeled onion, a stalk of celery and a carrot. I fish out the carcass to let it cool so I can pick the meat off then strain the broth, add sliced carrots, celery and a chopped onion back to the strained broth (somehow, I like the fresher taste of veggies that haven't been cooked to death). Then add the rice or noodles and finish with adding the turkey bits. Season to taste.

You need to add some chicken bullion to the stock. Without it, it is t particularly flavorful.
