Turkey, Bacon and Tomato Soup

Course: Soup

Cuisine: American

Keyword: leftover turkey, soup

Servings: 10 Servings or more

Calories: 314 kcal

Ingredients

• 2 lbs cooked diced turkey
• 8 slices thick cut smoked bacon
• 5 cups turkey stock
• 5 cups tomato juice
• 3 large carrots sliced
• 2 large parsnip sliced
• 4 stalks celery chopped
• 1 cup chopped fennel bulb
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 large red or white onion chopped
• 2 large tomatoes chopped
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp dried savoury
• 1 tbsp oregano
• 1 tbsp marjoram
• Salt and pepper to season
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper optional
• ½ cup lentils

Instructions

1. To make the turkey stock for this soup I use the bones of a cooked 10 lb turkey. Rupture the carcass apart and cover them with water in a large pot. Boil gently for about an hour and remove all the bones from the pot. Skim off excess fat from the surface. For this recipe I like to reduce the stock to about 5 cups to concentrate the flavour so return the pot to the stove and continue to boil to reduce the amount of stock whether essential.

2. Cut the bacon in small pieces and cook slowly to crisp over medium low flame, rendering out as much of the fat as possible. Drain off all the fat and deglaze the pan with a small turkey stock and add to the soup pot.

3. Sauté all the vegetables and garlic, apart from the tomatoes, in the olive oil for about 5 minutes over medium tall heat. Deglaze the pan with a small turkey stock and add to the soup pot along with the sautéed vegetables.

4. Add all other ingredients apart from the tomatoes and cooked turkey to the soup pot and simmer slowly for 30 minutes. Add the turkey and tomatoes and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until the lentils are cooked.
