It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

- #56128

ingredients
For stock
1 carcass from roast turkey or roast chicken
3 quarts water, or as needed
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
4 fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs
1 bay leaf
For Soup
8 cups turkey stock
1 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
2/3 cup peeled and diced carrot
1/2 cup diced celery
2 teaspoons chopped serrano or jalapeno peppers (or to taste)
1 cup cooked long-grain white rice
2 cups diced cooked turkey or chicken
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)
directions
Place carcass (breaking it up to fit) in crockpot with onion, carrots, celery, parsley and bay leaf with water to cover.
Cook over high heat for 1 hour, skimming off any foam that forms on the surface. Cover and continue to cook over low heat for 8-10 more hours, skimming as needed.
Strain turkey stock and discard all solid ingredients. Refrigerate broth, uncovered, until chilled, about 6 hours or overnight, then lift off and discard the fat solidified on top.
Place stock and all vegetables in a crockpot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours.
Add turkey and rice and cook for an additional hour.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with the parsley, if desired.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I didn't have any fresh peppers so I used crushed red dried peppers instead for the "heat".
