Directions
- Combine all ingredients for the stock in a large stockpot.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 hours.
- Remove from heat, allow to cool, and strain through a large piece of cheesecloth or a clean flour sack towel.
- To make the soup, heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in the turkey stock and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add the celery, white wine, and carrots and give it a stir.
- Add a splash of olive oil and the leftover turkey. As soon as it starts to boil, reduce heat to a simmer.
- Stir in the mushrooms, bay leaf, sage, and lemon juice. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
- Stir in the precooked barley and let simmer for a few minutes until it's heated through.
- Serve and enjoy!
