Steps:

- Add the parsley through to green beans.
- Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, scrape meat from carcass and return meat to soup pot. Add liquid if required.
- Heat to boiling; add noodles and cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Melt butter in a small frying pan; stir in flour.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the flour browns.
- Stir into boiling soup.
- When the soup returns to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Serve hot in large bowls - as if there were any other kind! - Enjoy.
- Notes: I serve this with fresh French Bread and butter.
- I have used yellow beans and a mixture of both.
- Once I wound up using frozen mixed vegetables - and it was still good.
- On two makings, chicken was substituted for the turkey - and it turned out well.
- Hints on Herbs and Spices: To substitute dried herbs for fresh, use 1/3 tsp powdered or 1/2 tsp crushed for every Tbsp of fresh chopped herbs.
- To test for dryness before packing (in case of drying f resh herbs for winter use) put a few sprigs or leaves in a tightly covered jar and watch for condensation.
- Store herbs in tightly covered jars, away from heat. Add mint, oregano, basil and any other dried herbs to recipes at the end or near end of cooking time for a more pronounced flavour.
- If you are enlarging recipes, spice to taste rather than to measure. When preparing cooked foods for freezing, it is advisable to under-season them with herbs or spices, then add more seasoning to taste when you reheat them and you will have the ultimate in flavour.
