Ingredients1 ea Meaty turkey carcass, leftOver from 20 pound bird 4 qt Water or broth1 tb Chopped garlic3 c Chopped celery1 ea Large onion, quartered2 tb Peppercorns2 c Chopped carrots6 ea Whole bay leaves1 tb Sweet basil, dried2 tb Whole dried Tarragon1 c Chopped fresh parsley1 c Wild riceSalt and pepper to taste Take the meat off the turkey carcass as soon as dinner is over and toss the carcass into a large pot. Add all of the spices and water (or broth). I usually also add a cup or two of white ****. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for an additional 6-8 hours. Cool the soup and strain. If you wish, skim any fat from the broth at this point. Return the broth to the pot, add large pieces of cooked turkey and any coarsely chopped fresh vegetables you wish to the mixture; add wild rice, barley, or whatever legume you wish, and simmer (covered) until the rice is done and the vegetables are crisp-tender. Enjoy......this also freezes well.
