Our grandson calls this "bone soup" because I make it with Thanksgiving turkey bones! The recipe for slickers—half dumplings, half egg noodles— comes from my grandmother.

Turkey Soup with Slickers Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Cook: 2-1/2 hours + cooling

Yield: 10 Servings

20 150 170

Ingredients

1 leftover turkey carcass (from a 14-pound turkey)
5 quarts water
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped carrot
1/2 cup chopped celery
3 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 bay leaves
1 egg
2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 cup frozen peas

Directions

In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, add the first nine ingredients. Slowly bring to a boil; skim foam. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours. Discard bay leaves. Remove carcass; set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove turkey from bones; discard bones. Cut turkey into bite-size pieces; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of the broth and egg. Stir in enough flour to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 8-10 times or until smooth. Divide dough in half; roll out each piece to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into 2-in. x 1/4-in. strips.
Add dill and poultry seasoning to remaining broth; bring to a gentle boil. Drop slickers into broth; cover and cook for 30-35 minutes or until tender. Add peas and reserved turkey; heat through. Yield: 8-10 servings (2-1/2 quarts).

No More Tears

To reduce tears while cutting onions, freeze onions for 20 minutes before chopping. Also, use a very sharp knife when chopping onions and chop quickly. You can save both time and tears by chopping many onions at once. Freeze the extras in an airtight container for up to 3 months. (Before sauteing, thaw the onions and pat them dry. Frozen chopped onions can be added directly to soups or casseroles.)

My husband says this is the best turkey soup he has ever tasted! The slickers are definitely what make this soup!

I love your grandson's title, 'Bone Soup' !! I have been looking for different ADD-INS for my soup(s)! I think you recipe 'Slickers' will be something I will definately try! I make my Grandmother's (Norwegian)'heavy' dumpling recipe. I do not like the 'airy' bisquick type dumpling at all! Your combination sounds like the best dumpling-noodle combo I have ever seen!! P.S. Give 'bone soup' grandson a hug from me!! Gram C
