Turkey Noodle Soup

This homemade soup is to die for. My youngest son always looked forward to the day AFTER Thanksgiving - anticipating this turkey recipe. Written recipe follows.

Recipe:

Broth from turkey
water for pot
3 14 ounch cans chicken broth (approx) for reconstituting. I prefer adding chicken broth rather than more water - (about 3 1/2 C or as needed)
1 lbs turkey (approx) meat from turkey carcass
1 C ea (I actually "eyeball it") of diced green onions, minced carrots, & diced mushrooms
1 C cream or half-n-half (or milk, etc)
2 large dollops of sour cream
SW Spice (or chili powder, chipolte') and salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Add water to large pot and add turkey carcass (bones and all) to pot. Simmer until meat falls from bone and broth forms. Cool to handle. Debone remaining meat from turkey. Return turkey broth deboned meat to stove and continue simmering adding chicken broth to reconstitute. Add vegetables and spices. Spoon in cream and sour cream. Simmer until tender and stir to combine.

Before serving, add homemade noodles (see below) and cook 3 minutes more.

HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES

4 whole eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour

Mix together the eggs, salt and flour until you have a stiff dough. I divide the dough in half and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Roll out thin like a piecrust.

Flour generously and roll up like a cinnamon roll. Slice off each roll (about 1/4" thick) with floured knife and drop into broth a few at a time to avoid clumping and stir.
