Ingredients

Leftover turkey bones
5-6 cups water
3 garlic cloves (or garlic powder, to taste)
2 bay leaves
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. rubbed sage
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup barley, uncooked*
Leftover veggies — cooked or uncooked

Instructions

  1. Place turkey bones, herbs, garlic, and water in a large pot.
  2. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1½–2 hours.
  3. Take out the bones and pick off any meat. Return the meat to the pot.
  4. Add the barley and any uncooked vegetables, then simmer 45 minutes.
  5. Stir in cooked vegetables during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  6. Season to taste and ladle into bowls.
 

Notes

  • This soup freezes well. Portion into containers for quick meals later.
  • Replace barley with spaghetti noodles if you prefer. Add noodles in the last few minutes along with cooked vegetables.
 
 This recipe is the perfect way to use up leftovers, like:
  • Raw veggie tray bits (carrots, celery, peppers)
  • Cooked carrots, peas, or green beans
  • Any lonely veggies hanging out in the fridge 😄
