This Smoked Turkey Noodle Soup Recipe is the perfect way to use leftover turkey from holiday dinners. It’s hard to believe that  Thanksgiving is right around the corner!! I usually struggle to know what to do with the leftovers.  However, this soup even uses turkey bones/carcasses to flavor the soup.

I love to make soup;, since I first made my Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup (see it -> here), I have become obsessed with making more.  We had smoked a turkey (See the smoked turkey recipe and dry rub recipe -> here), so what better way to use up some of it than soup? I love that we made so many meals from a 20lb turkey.  

Smoked Turkey Noodle Soup Ingredients:

  • Smoked Turkey Carcass
  • Smoked Turkey Neck 
  • Water 
  • Egg Noodles 
  • Minced Garlic 
  • Celery– I chopped these chunks larger so the kids could pick out what they don’t like.
  • Carrots 
  • Green Onion
  • Red Onion 
  • Better than Bouillon Chicken– You don’t need much I add just a tiny amount for flavoring, but you get a lot of broth out of the turkey carcass.

Smoked Turkey Noodle Soup Directions:

Boil a pot of water and the chicken Bouillon.

Once the pot is at a rolling boil, add in your turkey carcass.

**Note I did not add more seasonings to this as the carcass had the herbs from the smoked turkey to flavor the soup**

Chop and prep your veggies to go in.  

Chopped Vegetables in bowls with knife on a cutting board.

Next, allow to boil for about two hours, and use a fork to remove more meat from the bones. By this time, you may be able to stir the pot and have chunks of meat come off the bone.

Allow to simmer for about another hour, and start to remove more bones and chunks of fat from the broth mixtures.

I use a metal skimmer for this step. It makes it easy to pull chunks to the top to pull out bones and fat chunks.

**Note add water as needed to the pot some of it does evaporate while cooking**

Add in your vegetables to the pot and continue to boil for about another hour.
