Ingredients
  • 1 leftover turkey carcass
  • 6 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 32-oz cartons low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 cups uncooked regular long grain white rice
  • 2 to 2-1/2 cups leftover turkey, shredded or chopped
  • ½ of a 12-oz pkg frozen peas
  • ½ can of corn kernels, drained
  • Garlic powder to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. In a large stockpot, combine the turkey carcass (break up pieces into 5 or 6 manageable pieces), celery, carrots, onion, onion soup mix, bay leaves, and 3 of the cartons of broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour. Then remove the carcass and bones to a cutting board and pick off any meat that remains. Add pieces to pot. Discard the carcass and bones.
  3. Stir in the rice, add the other carton of broth and the leftover turkey, and return to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add peas and corn and season with garlic powder and salt and pepper. Simmer an additional 10 minutes, or until rice is tender. Enjoy!
