Turkey Ramen - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- Carcass from 1 (12- to 14-pound) turkey, including skin, or 2 rotisserie chicken carcasses
- 1 pound bone-in country ham steak or prosciutto, diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 (6-inch) daikon radish, peeled and diced
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 (2-inch) knob ginger, peeled and sliced
- 1 lemon, cut in half
- About 1 gallon water
Instructions
- Pull about 2 cups of meat off the turkey carcass and reserve for the soup. Using a large chef's knife, chop the turkey carcass into small fist-size pieces. Transfer to a large pot and add the country ham, onion, carrots, daikon radish, garlic, ginger, and lemon halves. Add enough water to cover the ingredients by 1 inch and bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the top. Lower the heat to moderately low and let the stock simmer, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain a very gentle simmer, until richly aromatic, about 4 hours. Let the stock cool slightly then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Measure 8 cups of stock for the ramen bowls and reserve the rest for later use. DO AHEAD: The turkey stock can be prepared ahead and kept, covered in the refrigerator, up to 4 days, or frozen, in an airtight container, up to 3 months.
