Soup-erb Snack: Homemade Turkey Stock
Don't let anything go to waste! Strip the turkey carcass of all cooked meat and add the bones to a large pan. Throw in your leftover potato and carrot peel, along with some dried herbs. Cover the bones with cold water and bring to a boil. Skim off any foamy residue, then reduce the heat and simmer for three hours. The stock can be used as a base for soups or gravy. Once cooled, you can chill or freeze it for later.
