3/4 tsp cinnamon.

1/2 tsp nutmeg.
1/4 tsp allspice.

Make pie crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine sugars, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice.
In another mixing bowl, combine pumpkin, milk, egg whites, and vanilla.
Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients just until moistened.
Pour into prepared pie pan.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until crust is nicely browned and the filling is set in the center when jiggled.

Carcass of one turkey.
4 cups of chicken stock.
4 cups of water.
1 cup of dry white wine.
¼ cup of all-purpose flour.
6 peppercorns.
2 parsley sprigs.
1 celery stalk, chopped.
1 medium onion, chopped.
1 bay leaf.
1 carrot, chopped.
2 teaspoons of butter.
1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
½ teaspoon of Thyme.

Heat up the butter and vegetable oil over medium-high heat


Cook the celery, onion and carrot, stirring for about 10 minutes.

Add the flour and reduce to medium heat, cooking for 2 more minutes.

Stir in the chicken stock, water and dry white wine. Bring to a boil.

Add the turkey carcass broken in pieces, plus the peppercorns, parsley, bay leaf and thyme.

Simmer the soup, covered partially, skimming any froth as it comes up to the surface, for 90 minutes.

Once cooked, strain the soup, then either serve immediately or refrigerate if serving later.

You can always add diced turkey to this OR even noodles, on the day you are maybe re-heating to eat.
