Serves 8 people Prep Time 30 minutes Cook Time 2 hours and 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 Plainville Farms Turkey Thighs (can substitute 1 whole turkey breast as well)
  • 2 quarts cold water
  • 2 quarts Chicken Stock
  • 2 large onions, medium diced
  • 4 carrots, medium diced
  • 3 stalks celery, medium diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon celery salt
  • 2 cups cooked egg noodles
  • 2 tsp parsley, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Place turkey thighs and water/stock in a large soup pot and bring to a low boil, then drop down to a simmer. Cook for approximately 2 hours. Strain liquid and reserve both broth and meat separately. Remove and discard bone/skin from meat. Chop meat and set aside meat.
  2. In a medium stock pot, sauté onions, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until onions become translucent.
  3. Add sage, thyme, and celery salt; reduce heat to a simmer and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add previously reserved stock and cook on low for approximately 2 hours.
  4. Add in turkey meat and parsley. Add noodles and cook according to the package directions

Notes

Turkey breast can be substituted for turkey  thighs. If using turkey breast, roast breast meat and then dice. Remove water and increase chicken stock to 4 quarts as well
