Ready Time: 1 hr 15 mins


• pick your thanksgiving turkey nearly clean. (turkey salad is great for a few days, or even turkey pot pies.) we are not real concerned about the choice meat here. dump the turkey and all of its debris, including the juices, into a large pot. add green beans, celery, spinach, cabbage, and white rice. pour in enough water to cover everything.
• bring soup to a boil. reduce heat, and simmer for an hour or so. add more water as needed.
• remove all turkey bones and unwanted debris (i.e., skin, cartilage, etc.). there you have it. it's kind of a culinary scrapbook of your turkey day.
