Ingredients
  

  • One turkey carcass from a 20-pound turkey
  • About 3 quarts of water enough to cover bones
  • 1 onion peeled, optional
  • 2 stalks celery optional
  • 3 cloves garlic optional

Instructions
 

  • Add bones to crock pot or stove-top pot.
  • Add vegetables if you are using them.
  • Cover the bones and vegetables with water, about an inch above the bones and vegetables.
  • Turn crock pot on low or simmer on stove top.
  • Stew your bones for about 24 hours.
  • If you wish to skim the fat, let the broth sit for about an hour so that the fat will accumulate in a layer at the top. Skim it off and discard it.
  • Pour off the turkey broth and use it in your soup recipe.
  • Reuse the bones in a second batch.
