1 tbsp

Soy Sauce

Directions:

1

Bring turkey, onion, ginger, cinnamon, star anise, and 14 cups cold water to a boil in a large heavy pot

2

Reduce heat and simmer gently, turning turkey over halfway through, until liquid is reduced to 8 cups, 50–65 minutes

3

Discard carcass; strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium saucepan

4

Add rice to stock and bring to a boil

5

Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until soup begins to thicken, 35–45 minutes (make sure to stir the bottom of pot to prevent rice from sticking)

6

Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until rice begins to break into smaller pieces and mixture resembles the consistency of oatmeal, 10–15 minutes longer; season congee with salt

7

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high

8

Cook mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6–8 minutes

Remove from heat and add soy sauce; season generously with pepper
