Servings: persons

1/4 cup dried scallops
3 dried black mushrooms
1 1/2 cups uncooked short-grain white rice
1/2 leftover turkey carcass, broken into pieces
9 cups water
Toppings:
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger
1/4 cup raw peanuts
2 tablespoons dried red onion
8 dashes sesame oil
ground white pepper to taste

1
Place dried scallops and dried mushrooms in a bowl; pour in hot water to cover and let stand to rehydrate, about 10 minutes. Rinse and drain rice; set aside.
2
Separate any meat from bones of turkey carcass; set aside. Place bones and 9 cups hot water in a large stockpot and bring to a boil. Drain mushrooms and scallops; squeeze out any excess water. Break scallops into smaller pieces; slice mushrooms thinly.
3
Stir scallops, mushrooms, rice, and turkey meat into the stockpot; reduce heat to allow congee to simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally for a smooth congee, until rice is tender and congee is thick, about 2 hours. If you like a thinner congee, stir in hot water a few tablespoons at a time.
4
Ladle congee into individual bowls; top each bowl with cilantro, green onions, ginger, peanuts, red onion, sesame oil, and white pepper as desired.
