The smoke flavoured turkey wings light soup

Published on in Soups

There is a smoky vibe you get when you prepare soups with smoked protein pieces. One of such soups is the smoke flavoured turkey wings light soup. Marinate your turkey pieces, through them into the oven and wait for magic to happen. If you don’t have much time on your hands, dash out to the butchery shop and request for their smoked turkey pieces.

One of the ways I ensure I always have the perfectly smoked turkey pieces is to smoked them on free weekends and just through them into the freezer. This can last for up to 6 months until my next smoking session. the smoke turkey pieces provides the perfect base for a quick soup dish. You will just require a 35 minutes meal turn around time if your smoke pieces are handy.

Alternatively, you can use smoke chicken pieces or fish pieces to recreate this amazing dish. Serve with cooked potatoes, rice or an asanka of Nkoranza style fufu.
