• about 1.8kg with greens), scrubbed well and trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached

• 4 litros de agua

• 1 1/4 to 675g smoked turkey legs or wings

• 2 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

• 2 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

• 1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

• 1 diente de ajo, machacado

• 4 sprigs fresh dill plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

• 1 hoja de laurel turco o 1/2 hoja de laurel de California

• 1 cucharadita de sal

• 1/4 cucharaditas de granos de pimienta negra enteros

• 2 cucharaditas de jugo de limón fresco

Boil beets, covered, in water (3.8L ) in a 6- to 8-quart pot over moderate heat until tender, about 40 minutes. Transfer beets with a slotted spoon to a plate to cool slightly, reserving cooking water. When beets are cool enough to handle, slip off skins. Cut 1 beet into 1/4-inch dice and reserve for garnish. Cut remaining beets into 1/2-inch pieces and return to cooking liquid in pot. Add turkey, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, dill sprigs, bay leaf, salt, and peppercorns and simmer, partially covered, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Pour soup through a dampened cheesecloth-lined sieve set into a 3-quart heavy saucepan, discarding solids. Measure soup: If there is more than 1450ml , boil in cleaned pot until reduced; if there is less, add enough water to total 1450ml .

Skim fat from consommé, then add lemon juice and sugar and heat until hot.

Divide diced beet and chopped dill among 8 shallow soup plates and ladle consomm on top.
