BROTH:
In a large soup pot, bring to boil, add left over bones of turkey, 2 carrots chopped, 1 onion cut into quarters, 3 celery stocks chopped, 3 bay leaves. Reduce to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until bones brake apart from each other when pinched with tongs, about 3 hours. Skim fat off, if desired, during cooking every 30 minutes. Strain. Reserve liquid (broth) and throw out solids.
SOUP:
Bring broth to boil in a large soup pot. Add pasta, and veggies, boil until pasta and veggies are tender. Add turkey and boil until hot.
Pork Roast
1 3 lb pork roast
1 cup veggie broth
4 medium red potatoes, quartered
8 oz of baby carrots
1/2 medium onion
2 parsnips, celery root, or turnips (or 1 of each) quartered
1 zucchini, cut into 2 inch circles
1 bay leaf
1 tsp each thyme, rosemary, and parsley
Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. Cook roast in 350 roasting pan, covered, for 1/2 hour. Take out roast. Add veggies, broth and herbs in pan. Put roast back in, cover and cook for another hour or until veggies are tender roast reaches 165 in thickest part. Let rest, covered in foil, for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Baked Chicken and Dumplings
chicken and veggies
1 lb cooked, diced chicken or turkey
1 can cream of celery or chicken soup
2 stalks of celery, diced
2 cloves of garlic, pressed
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 small bag of frozen mixed veggies
1 1/2 can of water
salt and pepper
Sauté the onion, celery and garlic until onion is translucent. Meanwhile, mix soup, water, salt and pepper in a 9x13 baking pan. Add all other ingredients, and mix together.
2 cups flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp soft butter
4 tbsp shortening
3/4 cup butter milk (to make butter milk - add 1 tsp of white vinegar to 3/4 cup milk, let sit 2 minutes)
Mix dry ingredients, butter and shortening in a large mixing bowl with a fork or pastry bender. Until it resembles peas. Add butter milk mix until it forms a dough. Scoop small dumplings out of the mix and drop into the pan on top of the chicken/veg mix.
Bake at 375 uncovered until the dumplings are golden brown and done all the way through. About 30-40 minutes.
Pork Tostadas
I am using leftover pork roast for the tostadas.
Seasoned Beef and Rice
I will omit the salsa and add 1 can diced tomatoes.
