Ingredients  

  • 3 Canadian, bone-in and skin-on turkey breasts
  • 1 large white onion unpeeled and halved
  • 3 stalks celery chopped
  • 3 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 2 large parsnip peeled and chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh dill
  • 14 cups water
  • 1 package egg noodles
  • 1 package matzah ball mix
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add Canadian turkey to a large pot. Salt turkey. Add 12-14 cups of water (or until the turkey is submerged) and bring to a boil. Skim the fat/foam on top of the soup with a slotted spoon.
  • Once the water is boiled, bring the temperature to a simmer. Add vegetables and dill to the pot. Leave the pot covered for 2.5 to three hours.
  • Carefully strain the broth into another pot through a mesh strainer. Reserve the turkey, cooked carrots, celery, parsnips and onion for later. Add turkey to a large bowl and shred with two forks.
  • Let the broth completely cool and skim the fat from the top of the broth with a spoon.
  • Once the soup has been skimmed, add broth, cooked noodles, matzah balls, vegetables and fresh dill to a bowl. Serve and enjoy!
