Stock Ingredients
- 1 QT Turkey broth (32oz)
- Leftover turkey meat from Thanksgiving
- 2-3 celery stalks

(sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil) - fresh dill to taste

- ASS
- EVOO
Soup Directions
Sauté diced celery, carrot, onion in 1 tbsp EVOO for 5 minutes in a large stock pot. Add broth, chopped garlic, dried herbs, ASS, s+p to the pot. Top up with water to cover ingredients if needed, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 45 – 60 minutes. Add leftover turkey white and dark meat to soup. Add 1 – 2 tbsp fresh chopped dill at the end before serving.
Serve
Ladle soup into cup or bowl, chop some fresh dill for garnish.
This soup stock has insane flavor. Starting with rich bone broth and adding the white and dark meat from the turkey, layering in flavor with the garlic and herb mix creates a complex, heart warming, feel good bowl of soup with a completely different flavor profile than Thanksgiving dinner.
As with all savory dishes, sometimes it tastes even better the next day. Be sure to make enough to save in the fridge, and reheat as needed.
