Left Over Turkey?

Okay so now what do you do with the leftover turkey?

Lets start with Turkey Stock.

You need a big pot.
Remove all the meat you can from the turkey carcuss and place the turkey in the pot cover with water. Cut 1 or 2 onions , couple of stocks of celery, one or 2 carrots into large pieces and then add them to the pot and simmer over low heat. Cook for about 2 hours. Near the end of the cooking time add salt, pepper and if you have add some parsley or other seasonings to taste. Strain and keep the liquid and dispose of the carcus and vegetables. Cool in the fridge and any fat should rise to the top and can be skimmed off. This stock is great as is or with noodles and some of the turkey meat. It freezes well.
