FARMHOUSE CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Place the chicken breast-side up in a 6-8 quart Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot. Arrange the celery, carrot, onion, bay leaf and thyme around the chicken. Add cool water to just barely cover the chicken. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper.
• Cover the pot and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 1 - 1 ½ hours, or until the chicken is falling apart. Turn off the heat and let it rest in the broth for 30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the broth and shred the meat into medium-size pieces. Discard the skin and bones.
• Strain the broth and return to the pot. Discard the vegetables and herbs.
• Return chicken to the pot with the broth. Bring to a simmer; add the noodles. Cook for about 6-8 minutes for wide egg noodles, or until the pasta is al dente (cooked, but still slightly firm). Turn off the heat; stir in lemon juice. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

MOM'S OLD FASHIONED TURKEY AND NOODLES

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil to medium high. Salt and pepper the turkey thighs on both sides. Place the thighs in the pan and brown well on all sides.
• 2. When the turkey is well browned, add the chunks of vegetables and the garlic and saute them for a few minutes.Add the chicken broth, water (just enough to cover the turkey and veggies) and bay leaves. Add poultry seasoning here if desired.
• 3. Bring to a boil and then turn down heat to medium and simmer the mixture until turkey is tender and the internal temperature is 160 to 170 degrees F. Remove turkey from broth, let cool. Remove skin and bone from turkey and discard. Chop meat into bite sized chunks.
• 4. Strain broth through a sieve and discard the vegetables. Defat the broth, place back into the Dutch oven, bring to a boil and add the noodles. Turn heat to medium and add the cubed or sliced vegetables. Cook until noodles are tender, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. (Cooking generally takes longer than is indicated on the package for these noodles.)
• 5. When noodles are tender to your preference, add the chopped turkey meat and heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste. By the time the noodles are done, and the turkey reheated, most of the broth should be absorbed and thickened. (If you like more broth, add another can of chicken broth) Serve HOT.
