Tower Mountain Turkey Soup
1 turkey carcass
6 carrot slices
4 ribs celery slices
1/2 pkg. lentils, rice or barley
1 Tbsp. thyme
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. parsley flakes
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Cover carcass with water in a 10 or 12 quart pot. Let simmer 1 to 2 hours. Remove from heat. When cool enough to handle, scrape off all the meat and discard the carcass.
Cook the lentils, celery and carrots separately. Before the soup cools, add the vegetables, lentils (including cooking liquids) and seasonings. Recipe can be doubled; this makes approximately 2 gallons and tastes wonderful after any outdoor winter activity.
