Pay attention: Many of the recipes below require extra turkey. You can replace your favorite organic chicken stock or bone stock or just take the bones (after removing most of the meat), put them in a large broth with carrots, onions and celery and cover them with water. Bring the heart to the boil, then put it back in place and cook slowly for 3 to 4 hours. Here’s a tip: Your broths will become cloudy if you boil them while they are still boiling; for best results, boil them softer. Tear the turkey stock and use it if you like.
IMPORTANT NOTE : We recommend the use of natural sweeteners such as raw honey, real maple syrup or organic coconut sugar to make the most of these recipes. Also exclude traditional cow’s milk products and use coconut milk, almond milk or organic goat’s milk or cheese instead, replace table salt with sea salt, replace rapeseed oil and vegetable oil with coconut butter, olive oil or melted butter.
Here are 47 great turkey recipes.
Soups
1. Indian Potion
Slow cooking deprives the bones of their nutrients during this round of the turkey. Conjis are a convenient food throughout Asia, and although deliveries may vary, the process is the same. The turkey stock, rice and vegetables will certainly warm you up from head to toe.

3. Soba Turkey Noodle soup

10. Turkey and white beans
Jump over a pond with this British version of chili in this turkey recipe. Adjust the spice content to the amount of chilli and cayenne pepper to your taste. Banks is the British name for cans, and 500 grams corresponds to just over 2 cups.
I always recommend avoiding canned food so I can replace it with frozen or cooked beans. Mix the batch as prescribed and enjoy.
11. Tuscan turkey and white bean soup Gluten free
Travel through Italy to buy this fresh gluten-free soup and use the rest of the turkey.
