I remembered looking at a recipe a while back that used turkey and it was a turkey corn chowder. I don't remember what was in the recipe, but I like to just make things up as I go when I cook so I think that gave me a good starting point.
I started with prepping the crockpot and sautéing the onions in some butter on the stove. I filled the crockpot with the turkey and all the bones...which mostly was the giant leg bones. I then copped up the celery and put it all in. We really like celery in our soups so I usually put quite a bit in. I wish we had some potatoes to add and I will try to add them next time I try this recipe. Or maybe some dumplings? Or egg noodles? I added a can of corn and some almond milk, because that's what I had in my fridge. I don't usually drink ink, so we don't have it on hand. I'm sure it would taste great with milk, or even some cream...YUM! I added vegetable broth, I was all out of chicken broth, but I think chicken broth might have the better flavor? Or even a combination of the two? Then, I let it all sit in the crockpot for 6 hours on Low.
Ingredients
-1/2 yellow onion, diced
- garlic powder
- celery chopped
- chicken broth - I used vegetable
- 8 oz can corn
- salt to taste
- ground pepper to taste
- skim milk - I used almond milk
- 3 cups of turkey
- shredded cheddar
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- green onion as garnish
If you don't have left over Turkey meat like I did, I'm sure some chicken breasts would work great. Or even some ground turkey?
Note to self for next time ~ try to add a bit more cayenne pepper for a little more spice
