Today I am making turkey soup. I froze the turkey bones from Thanksgiving and have been waiting for the perfect day to make the soup. Today it is cold and snowy (in Dallas, TX!). The Perfect Day! This is a recipe that I got from my mother, Sheila. We ate it as I was growing up, and then it was lost. Lost somewhere in the recipe box. One day when I was visiting with my mother, she yelled, "Here is the lost turkey soup recipe!" She was so excited! Ever since that day, the recipe has been called Lost Turkey Soup.

Lost Turkey Soup
Boil the turkey carcus in water to cover for 1 hour. Clean off bones. Strain the broth. Add to the broth- 1/2 c. barley, 1 chopped onion, 2 med. potatoes, diced; 1 can of diced tomatoes, 3 bay leaves, 2 stalks celery, cut up; 3 carrots, cut up; the diced turkey meat, 3 bouillon cubes (chicken or vegetable), water as needed, 1 bag of frozen cut up okra, salt to taste.
That's it! Bring it to a boil. Then, let it simmer for 2-3 hours.
