- Turkey Carcass

- 15 oz Can Corn
- 15 oz Can Potatoes

- 8 oz Egg Noodles
- 1 Tablespoon Salt

- 3-4 Quarts Water
Place your turkey carcass into a large pot. Make sure to add in the turkey neck, giblets, any skin, & leftover turkey drippings!
Add about 3-4 quarts of water to the pot or however much you need to submerge the carcass. Add a tablespoon of salt and a teaspoon of pepper.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn the burner down to a low simmer.
Simmer for about 5 hours while checking every now & then. If your water is boiling off too quickly and the bones start to stick out of the water, add more water to cover it up, and bring back to a simmer.
Pour the stock through a strainer into a large bowl catching any bones. Pour boneless stock back into the large pot.
Add left over turkey chunks, corn, potatoes & carrots. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 45 minutes.
Add in egg noodles & then bring up to medium heat. Once noodles have softened, serve & enjoy!
