Sweet and Spicy Turkey Soup

If anyone made the spiced honey recipe back when I was emailing recipes, this is a great use of it. It highlights the flavor of the heritage turkey from Sweetgrass. If you didn't make that honey, no problem.

3 c large chunks of Sweetgrass turkey (leftovers are perfect)
1 bag of Gaia's Breath Bok Choy, chopped
1 the Farm B/B onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced (Russia Corners or The Farm)
4 c turkey stock
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 c spicy honey*
3 c cooked rice
s/p

In a large stock pot, heat oil over med heat. Add in onion and garlic,season with s/p, saute until soft about 5-7 minutes. Add in honey, and bok choy. Toss to combine, cook for 1 minute. Add in turkey and stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat simmer for 30-45 minutes.

I like to place my rice in the bowl, then top with hot soup.

*Place 1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes in 1/2 c honey. Let stand for at least one hour. Can leave the flakes in for extra heat or strain out.

  2. I keep spicy honey on hand, not just for cooking, but also use it tea when I feel a sore throat coming on!
