Personal Notes:
**I put the turkey carcass in a pot of water with a couple of carrots and celery stalks and let it boil for several hours and then add a couple of chicken bouillon cubes to the strained liquid to make my broth.

This recipe isn't a quick one, but it is so worth it!! I usually double it so we'll have plenty of leftovers.
