Answer 1

Hmm... is that cow a member of the "Occupy the Farm" movement?
We were going to Terrie's nephew's for Thanksgiving, but since we are both at about 80% with colds (some days even below 80%) we're staying home... still going to have a Turkey, so I can make soup
Butterball (or similar) Turkey for better stock
Cook turkey upside down in a baker bag
- This keeps the white meat tender
- Cook according to baker bag instructions
All broth into the stew pot (careful opening bag)
Pacifica French Onion Soup in box instead of water
Remove meat for serving (leave some on bones)
Everything except the “gobble” into the stew pot
Boil 2-4 hours so the meat falls off the bones
Put in the ‘fridge over night
Skim the fat off the top the next day
Heat so it is liquid again, then de-bone
Add spices to taste (a bit of Italian & “whatever”)
Costco Sun Dried Tomato (SDT) (see Note 1)
Add 1-2 cups of Harvest Medley rice (Costco)
- or your choice of wild or regular rice
Boil for about one-half hour to partly cook the rice
Add chopped carrots and cook about one-half hour
Add soft vegetables (celery, onion) for one-half hour
Depending on turkey size should be about 2 gallons
(1) SDT adds rich flavor AND the olive oil packing
So don’t use if you don’t want much oil flavor
