NEXT-DAY TURKEY SOUP WITH MASHED POTATO POLPETTI



Next-Day Turkey Soup with Mashed Potato Polpetti image

Repurpose every element of your Thanksgiving leftovers into Michael Chiarello's Next-Day Turkey Soup with Mashed Potato Polpetti recipe from Food Network.

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 cups chicken broth
1 turkey carcass, all meat removed
1 carrot, halved lengthwise, plus 1 carrot, minced
1 whole stalk celery, plus 1 stalk, minced
1 onion, halved, plus 1 onion, minced
2 bay leaves
3 cups dark turkey meat
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups leftover cooked Thanksgiving side vegetables (Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, green beans)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
Mashed Potato Polpetti (Patties), for serving, recipe following
3 cups mashed potatoes
Grey salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
All-purpose flour, for dredging
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Leftover gravy, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the chicken broth, turkey, carrot halves, celery stalk, onion halves and 1 bay leaf in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil and then simmer, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Dice the turkey meat. Make sure the meat pieces are no larger than the size of a soupspoon. (If preparing the soup the next day, be sure to store leftover turkey meat in an airtight container before placing it in the refrigerator. Top with 1 or 2 ladles full of broth to keep the meat moist.)
  • Before straining the broth, remove the large bones and carcass with tongs. Strain the broth through a sieve covered with wet cheesecloth. Discard the solids. Transfer the broth to a bowl set in a bath of ice water, which will cool the broth quickly and help keep it fresher longer. This can be done the night before and stored in the refrigerator until the next day.
  • In a large soup pot, heat the garlic in the olive oil over medium heat. Allow to brown slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the minced carrots, celery and onions. Sweat over medium-low heat until softened, 7 or 8 minutes.
  • Dice the leftover Thanksgiving vegetables. Add the sage to the soup pot along with the turkey broth and the remaining bay leaf. Bring to a simmer. When simmering, add the Brussels sprouts, green beans and diced turkey meat to the soup. Bring it back up to a simmer. Finally, add the sweet potatoes to the center and gently push them down. Turn the heat off and cover. Allow to sit and steam, 5 to 7 minutes. Let simmer for 5 more minutes and serve with the Mashed Potato Polpetti.
  • Re-season the potatoes with salt and pepper. Stir in the cheese. Take a mayonnaise or peanut butter lid and line with plastic wrap to use as a mold. Pack the potato mixture into the lid, unwrap it and place the patty on a baking sheet. You may refrigerate them covered with plastic wrap until the next day, or fry immediately.
  • To cook, dredge the patties in flour. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Just before frying, dredge the patties again with flour.
  • Add the patties to the oil without crowding them (you may have to cook them in batches). Cook until the underside is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and brown the other side. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with leftover gravy. Makes 6 servings.

MASHED POTATO AND TURKEY SOUP



MASHED POTATO AND TURKEY SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Potato     Poultry     Thanksgiving

Yield 8 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cup leftover mashed potatoes
1 1/2 cup leftover turkey (hand-torn into strips)
1 1/2 cup chicken or turkey stock
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 Tablespoon butter
3/4 cup grated gruyere (about 6 oz.)
2 teaspoons paprika
2 scallions, finely sliced
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne

Steps:

  • 1. Place mashed potatoes in a large soup pot over medium heat and add milk, heavy cream, and stock (store-bought is fine). Whisk gently to incorporate but do not overwork. 2. Add turkey and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. Bring to a light boil and finish by whisking in butter. 3. To serve, put gruyere (or your favorite shreddable cheese) in the bottom of a bowl and add soup. Garnish with a dusting of paprika and scallions. 4. Eat immediately. Pass out. Repeat throughout weekend.

Tips:

  • Use starchy potatoes: Russet, Yukon Gold, and Idaho potatoes are all good choices for mashed potato soup, as they break down easily and create a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Cook the potatoes in broth: This will infuse the potatoes with flavor and make the soup more flavorful.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't just stick to potatoes! Add in other vegetables like carrots, celery, onion, and garlic for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in mashed potato soup, so don't skimp on it. Use a sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese for the best flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Mashed potato soup should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices like paprika, cumin, or chili powder to taste.
  • Serve with a garnish: A sprinkle of chopped chives, parsley, or bacon bits adds a nice touch to mashed potato soup.

Conclusion:

Mashed potato soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and versatility, it's a great choice for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner.
