Since Kwanfan is asking about cooking a turkey, I think it's time for a recipes thread.
Here's an easy turkey soup using the leftover carcass:
1 turkey carcass
2 carrots, diced
1 onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 cup canned tomatoes
2 tbs. minced fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. cloves
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
chicken or turkey broth or stock to cover
1 cup chopped cooked turkey
Break turkey carcass into sections and place in large pan. Add vegetables, herbs, seasonings and broth to cover. Bring to boil, simmer covered for 2 hours. Cool slightly and skim the surface of the liquid. Add turkey meat, cook over gentle heat for 20 minutes. Serve hot with crusty bread.
