First I got all the meat off the turkey by putting what was left of the bird into my pressure canner pot with about 3-4 inches of water at the bottom. Put the lid on and cook till the rocker is rocking. Cook about 5 minutes then turn the burner off and let it cool down on its own. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can cook it in your crockpot or on the stove--it just takes longer.
Once it's cooled, the meat just falls off the bones. Pull the whole carcass out of the pot--keep the cooking water in the pot (it's now turkey broth). Separate the meat from the bones and ick and put the meat back in the pot with the broth.
Cut up some carrots and celery and 1/2-1 whole onion and add to the pot. You can put in a chicken boullion cube or two also. Now make your noodles while the veges are softening.
1 cup flour
1 egg
A little water
I double this and use 1 cup white and 1 cup wheat flour (we like lots of noodles).
First, get your food processor out with the chopper blade (I got mine from my mom after she wore it out and it's magically still working--yours probably looks nicer than this one, but it works):
Chop until it's blended together. It just looks like a little more grainy flour--almost cornmealy texture:
Cook the soup till the noodles are done, add salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, sage, whatever you like to taste. Yummy! The flour off the noodles thickens the soup so it's not all watery. If you don't start with broth from cooking your meat, you can use canned broth or water and lots of chicken boullion cubes as your soup base.
