Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon salt
• 3 stalks celery, chopped
• 2 cups uncooked egg noodles
• 3 quarts water
• 4 carrots, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 3 turkey drumsticks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine turkey drumsticks and water in a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Stir in onions, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, black pepper, sage, thyme, rosemary, and celery salt; reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until turkey meat is very tender, about 2 hours.

Step 2

Remove drumsticks and allow to cool enough to handle. Remove meat from bones and tendons, chop meat, and return to soup.

Step 3

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.

Step 4

Scoop noodles into soup bowls and fill the bowls with turkey soup.
