Never one to waste a good turkey carcass (mine from a 20-pound bird), I broke it down into two pots with some onion, shallots and peppercorns (all I had on hand of traditional stock fixin's). Simmered it until the meat lost its flavor, removed the bones, and simmered it several hours more till it was reduced by half to a dark brown. Strained it, put it in the fridge to cool and skimmed of the fat later. Then I pulled out Helen Chen's basic Egg Drop Soup recipe, which follows, and made it with my turkey broth as a base. I added a little soy sauce and shredded turkey for a comforting apres-Thanksgiving soup. You could also add mushrooms. Helen Chen's Egg Drop Soup from Chinese Home Cooking
Combine the chicken broth and ginger in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. While broth is coming to a boil, beat the eggs with the sherry in a small bowl or measuring cup. When the broth is boiling, remove ginger. (Then I added the turkey.) Pour a slow, thin, steady stream of egg into the liquid while stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat as soon as all the egg has been added. Salt to taste, and sprinkle minced scallions over the top. Serve hot. Makes 4 to 6 servings. CommentsE-mail entry: |

I prefer putting a 1/2 cup of long grain rice in the broth. Cook on low for a few hours. skip the eggs, and put chopped cilantro over a hot bowl of soup. We call this Chinese porridge......(jook)
