Directions
|
1. Put the turkey carcass, quartered onions, coarsely chopped carrots and celery, smashed garlic, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a large stockpot.
2. Cover with cold water and set over medium-high heat and bring to boil, then immediately turn heat to simmer and slowly simmer for 1 hour.
3. Remove pot and pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl or pot. This should yield about 10 cups of broth.
4. Dry the inside of the stockpot a little with a paper towel.
5. To the stockpot add the oil and place over medium heat.
6. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots and cook until starting to get soft, about 5 minutes.
7. Add the minced garlic and thyme, stirring to combine for just 1 minute.
8. Pour in the reserved stock and bring to a gentle simmer; simmering until vegetables are just soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.
9. Add the leftover turkey meat, salt, and pepper, tasting to adjust seasoning.
10. Simmer just until turkey is heated through. Will serve 4 to 6.
