Turkey Carcass Soup

Anything I can eat with a shovel-like took is a win in my books - maybe that's why I like soup so much. There's nothing like it.

If we ever have leftovers, we make soup. Sometimes we'll roast an entire turkey for meal prep - and the carcass makes a rich, delicious soup.

Ingredients:
- 1 picked-over turkey carcass
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 large white onion, diced
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 medium carrots, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups wild rice
- 1 tsp sage
- 1/2 tsp rosemary
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
- 3 bay leaves
- 1.5 cups frozen green peas
- salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
1. In a large pot, combine all ingredients except the rice and peas. Add water to cover the bird, if needed. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour.
2. Remove bay leaves and turkey carcass. Clean remaining meat off the bones and return to pot.
3. Stir in the rice, bringing to a boil and reducing heat to medium for another 15 minutes.
4. Add green peas. Cook for another 10 minutes or until rice is tender.
Garnish with some fresh parsley and enjoy!
