Steps:
- Break up the carcass into a large soup pot or Dutch oven.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Steps:
- Simmer rice, 3 scallions, turkey carcass (break into pieces if necessary), half of ginger, and water in a 6-to 8-quart heavy pot, covered, stirring occasionally, until soup has a creamy, porridge-like consistency, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice remaining 3 scallions and julienne remaining ginger.
- Discard turkey bones. Serve jook sprinkled with scallions and ginger.
Tips:
- Choose the right rice: Short-grain or medium-grain rice is best for jook because it creates a smooth, creamy texture. Jasmine rice, arborio rice, or glutinous rice are all good options.
- Use flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the jook, so make sure it's flavorful. You can use chicken broth, pork broth, or vegetable broth. If you're using water, add some salt, pepper, and garlic powder for flavor.
- Cook the rice slowly: Jook is a slow-cooked dish, so don't rush the process. Cook the rice over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until it's soft and creamy.
- Add your favorite toppings: Jook is a versatile dish that can be topped with a variety of ingredients. Some popular toppings include scallions, cilantro, fried garlic, ginger, and chili oil.
Conclusion:
Turkey jook is a delicious and nutritious dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give turkey jook a try.
