Turkey Chowder

Turkey Chowder Recipe from Craft Quickies

I would like to argue that Thanksgiving weekend is the tastiest weekend of the year.  It is simply my FAVORITE!  Thanksgiving dinner is about as good as it gets.  Turkey, mashed potatoes with my grandpa’s gravy, Granny’s sweet potato pie side dish, homemade orange rolls….oh man, I could go on and on!!!  Plus, to make matters even better we always save the bones of the bird and boil them up the next day to make a hearty turkey stock for use in this delicious turkey chowder recipe.  Combined with the leftover turkey meat it is warm, comforting heaven.  And not nearly as likely to make you have to unbutton your pants, either.  Heehee.

Next week I will be sharing with you the exact recipe / process that I use to make our homemade turkey stock, so stay tuned for that, but today I will just be giving you the turkey chowder recipe straight up.  You can buy turkey stock, but it’s a bit tricky to find.  I had to go to Whole Foods in order to find some turkey stock to make this turkey chowder last week for this post’s pictures since I didn’t have the bones of an entire bird on hand, but I usually go the homemade route.  Now that I have had both I can tell you that the homemade route is indeed tastier, which isn’t really surprising.  It’s the ideal base for this soup!

I usually double this chowder recipe.  FYI.

    I actually JUST saw turkey stock at Aldi yesterday and thought “what on earth would I do with that?” HA! Now I have an idea. 🙂

      Excellent! I am sure it’s way cheaper at Aldi than at Whole Foods!

    This looks so good. I rarely have turkey other than at Thanksgiving but this might make my meal plan before then.

    Ok, I just made this and it was sooooo yummy. I made the turkey stock last night, and the soup today. Both super easy, both super yummy. Also, I made cream of celery instead of opening a can, it really didn’t take any more time and tastes great. This will for sure be a new yearly tradition. Thanks for sharing Sar!!

    So, I made your turkey stock and then the turkey chowder, I have to say it’s pretty delish!!! I added carrots, peas and celery in the chowder. Next time I’ll make the cream of celery from scratch too, just to increase the healthy factor! But, both are so easy and it really doesn’t take to much time. These are defiantly a welcome addition to my recipe book! YUM
