A warm and hearty soup perfect for using leftover turkey and creating a comforting meal.
Place the turkey carcass, half of the onion, celery, and carrot into a large pot.
Breaking the carcass into smaller pieces can help extract more flavor.
Add water to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Skim off any foam that rises to the surface for a clearer broth.
Remove the carcass and vegetables from the pot and strain the broth.
Let the broth cool slightly before straining to avoid burns.
Pick off any remaining turkey meat from the carcass and set aside.
Use a fork to help remove small pieces of meat.
Return the broth to the pot and add the remaining onion, celery, and carrot.
Dice the vegetables evenly for consistent cooking.
Simmer the soup for 10 minutes to soften the vegetables.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if needed.
Add the noodles and cook until tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.
Stir in the peas and reserved turkey meat, then heat through.
Frozen peas cook quickly, so add them at the end.
Serve the soup hot and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
