My Mom's Holiday Noodles And Sauce Recipe
 |
| This is my Homemade Checken Noodle Soup. I do not have a picture of my Mom's Thanksgiving Noodles. |
This recipe has been
in my family for a long time. My daughter went to make them and asked all her
friends for their recipes. She told me that they just were not the same as
the ones that she is used to eating. Then she came to me and asked me
how we do it. She should have asked me in the first place ......but you
know how when you think that everybody else does it the same way as you
.....you just never think about that.
We have them every Thanksgiving. In fact
if you forgot to make these Thanksgiving wouldn't be Thanksgiving without
them. They are good on the Mashed Potatoes and also just by
themselves. You can make them with Chicken giblets too or
just Chicken livers. They taste best using the giblets though as the skin
on to neck adds to the flavor.
My Mom's Thanksgiving
Egg Noodles
After removing the
giblets, liver and neck out of the Turkey or Roasting Chicken rinse them off
and put them in a 3 quart pot.
Add about 4 cups of
water and 2 or 3 boullion cubes.
Bring to a boil and
them lower it down to a simmer. Simmer this for 45 minutes.
Remove the neck, liver
and giblets. Let them cool for about 10 minutes.
While these are
cooling you add 1/2 cup chopped onions and 1/2 stick butter.
Take as much meat off
the neck as you are able and add it to the liquid you removed them from.
Chop up the liver and add that to the liquid too. You may do the same with the
giblets but I give them to my animals.
Bring the liquid back
up to boiling and then add 2 cups of noodles (any brand or flavor will do) and
boil for 10 minutes. Just make sure that you have about a cup of
liquid for the juice in the noodles. Sometimes they can dry out and
I just add more water and bring it back to a boil and get the noodles the
consistency that I like....which is softer than al dante. You may prefer
it that way or not.
If you are using
chicken livers by themselves you need to add more butter or the noodles will
soak up too much water and they will be dry.
Enjoy!
