Turkey Noodles

November 28, 2010 – 6:12 pm

Tonight, we used up some more of our turkey leftovers to make turkey noodles, similar to the much beloved homemade chicken noodles, but on a much smaller scale 🙂

Turkey Noodles
Serves 4

For the noodles:
1 egg
1 cup flour
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

For the rest:
2 tsp butter
8 oz leftover turkey, cut into bite sized chunks
1 quart turkey stock

Knead together the egg and flour to form a stiff dough. If necessary add a little water, a tsp at a time, to incorporate the flour fully. After kneading well, let the dough rest for about 20 minutes to let the gluten relax. Roll out the dough to 1/16 inch thick, either with a pasta roller or with a rolling pin, and cut it into long strips about 1/2 inch wide. Dry the pasta for at least 2 hours on a drying rack or 3-4 hours on the counter.

When the pasta is ready, melt the butter in a small stock pot over medium and add the turkey. Brown the turkey for 1-2 minutes, then add the stock. Increase the heat to medium high. Bring the stock to a boil and gently lower the noodles into the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and gently boil the noodles for 7-8 minutes, or until tender and cooked through.

Serve warm.
