Number of servings: 6-8
Total time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Ingredients:
- 1 turkey wing (about 700 g)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon peppercorns
- 1 Knorr cube (optional)
- 3 carrots
- 2 parsley roots
- 1 celery root
- 2 old onions + 5 green onion stalks
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 bunch of lovage leaves
- 200 g frozen peas
- 200 g frozen yellow beans
- 2 large peeled tomatoes (or frozen)
- 3 egg yolks
- 500 g sour cream
- 2 pickled kapia peppers
- Salt to taste
- Oil for sautéing

Preparation:

1. Preparing the meat: In a large pot (8 liters), add cold water, the well-washed turkey wing, a whole old onion, the Knorr cube, and the peppercorns. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once it starts boiling, skim the soup to remove impurities. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 60 minutes, or until the meat easily comes off the bone.

2. Preparing the vegetables: Meanwhile, wash and chop all the vegetables into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and lovage leaves. In another pot, add a little oil and, when it is heated, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and the rest of the vegetables (except for the frozen ones). Let them sauté for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

3. Combining the ingredients: When the turkey meat is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool. Strain the broth in which the meat was cooked and pour it over the sautéed vegetables. Add the frozen vegetables (peas and yellow beans) and the chopped peeled tomatoes. Let it simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Adding the meat: Remove the meat from the bones, cut it into small pieces, and add it to the soup. On a cutting board, remove the skin from the pickled kapia peppers, chop them finely, and add them to the soup as well.

5. Finalizing the soup: In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sour cream and chopped lovage. Add the mixture to the soup, stirring well to combine. Season with salt to taste and let it simmer for a few more minutes, then turn off the heat.

Serving suggestion: Serve the rich turkey wing soup hot, alongside a slice of fresh bread or flavored croutons. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra touch of freshness.

Tips and practical advice:
- Choose a quality turkey wing, preferably from a trusted supplier, to achieve a flavorful soup.
- For an even richer taste, you can add other vegetables like zucchini or eggplant.
- If you want a spicier version, you can add a finely chopped hot pepper while sautéing the vegetables.
- The soup can be made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld. Reheat gently before serving.

Nutritional benefits: Turkey wing soup is not only tasty but also packed with nutrients. Turkey meat is an excellent source of lean protein, and the vegetables provide important vitamins and minerals. Consuming warm soup is comforting and beneficial for the immune system, especially in the cold season.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I replace the turkey wing with another type of meat? Yes, you can use chicken or beef, but the cooking time may vary.
2. Can I make the soup easier? You can use store-bought meat broth, but for an authentic taste, I recommend making it at home.
3. Is this soup suitable for children? Yes, it is a healthy recipe, but make sure not to add excessive salt or spices.
