I was digging around in my freezer for something to put together for lunch today and forgot I’d made a small turkey at Easter. I had the torso part of the carcass still left in a bag and decided on some sort of soup. Then when I went to the fridge to get some other veggie ingredients, I saw the highly smoked, dry-cured sausage my husband gets when he’s at his convention and thought I’d mix the two meats. I don’t think ordinary smoked sausage would do well here, so if you don’t have a meat market that dry-cures their own smoked sausage, I’d just omit it altogether. Then I tossed in some chopped Zeroodles Shiritaki Noodles with Oat Fiber, a bit of fresh spinach leaves, a little of this and that and ended up with a DELICIOUS soup! This recipe is suitable for all phases of Atkins and most Keto diets. It’s very low in carbs yet so rich in flavor layer. Hope you’ll give this one a try!

INGREDIENTS:
½ meaty turkey carcass, 1 chicken carcass or 2½ c. diced cooked turkey meat
4 oz. highly smoked, dry-cured beef/pork sausage (see comment above)
6 cups water (if using diced turkey, I would use chicken/turkey broth for more flavor)
2 oz. onion, chopped
1 c. celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
1 14-oz pkg. Zeroodles Shiritake Rice-Shape noodles (or other shape, chopped up)
1 tsp. Sambal Oelek chili sauce (or few drops Sriracha, or 1 tsp. Thai red curry paste)
1 T. low-sodium soy sauce
2 T. rice wine vinegar
1 c. dried shitake mushrooms, broken into small pieces
2 c. fresh spinach leaves (added at very last)
OPTIONAL: ½ tsp. toasted sesame oil
DIRECTIONS: Into a 5 qt. soup pot, place the turkey or chicken carcass. Add the sausage and water to the pot. Add celery, onion, garlic and ginger next. Add rice-shaped or chopped up shiritake noodles and shitake mushrooms next. Bring this mixture to a boil over high heat. Lower heat and simmer covered with lid 30 minutes, or until veggies and mushrooms are fully tender. Remove carcass to a cutting board, cool and strip meat off bones. Chop meat into bite-size pieces and add back to the soup pot. Add all remaining ingredients listed above but the spinach leaves. Simmer about 15 minutes more to blend flavors. Finally add the spinach leaves cooking just until it is barely done, or about 5 minutes. Serve soup at once.
