How To Make turkey vegetable soup with barley

  • Step 1
    Place turkey bones in a large pot and cover with water. Simmer at least an hour until meat is falling off the bones. Strain, reserving broth. Put broth in the fridge a few hours or overnight to make any fat rise to the top to be skimmed off.
  • Step 2
    After it has cooled, pick meat off the bones, discarding bones. Skim fat off the top of broth and reheat. Add veggies, barley and turkey.
  • Step 3
    Simmer around an hour or until barley and vegetables are cooked through. Season to taste.
