How's Your Turkey Soup?

[jtmwhyte]

My Turkey soup is quite meaty since we had prime rib instead.

I'm like X - smoked turkey carcass with wings makes an awesome soup. I also roast a bunch or onion, garlic, celery and carrots until caramelized to make stock for both the soup and gravy.

Roasting a few veggies on the grill is a great idea too. Some parsnips would be great. Get some grill marks on them, but not cooked all the way through.

Mine's starting to look pretty alright although it may need to simmer overnight.

Father-in-law decided a 30lb bird was the way to go this year. Small pig in one end, half a bakery in the other. The bottom rack on my oven was bowing with the weight. Twelve adults ate their fill last night and took home leftovers; f-i-l was back to visit today and carved off another big bag of meat. I pulled another 2.25kg off it later this evening. I told him next year he should quit friggin' around and just get an emu.

My wife is a vegetarian and has been for almost 20 years. She's ovo-lacto, so she eats dairy and eggs, but no other animal products (except honey, I guess). She'll generally cook meat for myself and our two boys (3 and 5), but there are limits to that (she'd rather not hand-form hamburgers, fr'instance). We eat vegetarian meals at least half the nights each week. I'm welcome ask for meat inclusion or add it myself, but generally it takes more time than its worth and those meals are all complete (and tasty!) without it. Going vegetarian does make it hard to go low/slow carb unless you're already used to a lot of legumes and other sources of protein.

I love meat, but I tend to agree with Mark Bittman (former NYT food writer):

[A]lthough being a principled, all-or-nothing vegetarian [is] not a course of action that would ever likely inspire the majority of Americans, the days of all-meat-all-the-time (or, to be slightly less extreme, of a diet heavily dependent on meat) [cannot] go on. Averaging a consumption of two pounds a week or more of meat (as Americans do) is not sustainable, either for the earth or our planet.

That's very interesting!

Done.

It's pretty hard to fuck it up.

So don't tell us that you fucked it up, lol.
