    Ingredients

    • 1 whole turkey carcass,
    • 1 large onion, include peels, cut in half
    • 5 large carrots, trimmed and chopped, trims reserved
    • 1 bunch celery, trimmed and chopped, trims reserved
    • Leftover gravy
    • Leftover stuffing
    • 10 peppercorns
    • 1 bay leaf
    • water
    • 1 8 oz. package wide egg noodles

    Directions

    1. Place turkey carcass in a very large stock pot. Add bay leaf, peppercorns, carrot trims, celery trims and the halved onion. Add leftover gravy and stuffing. Cover with water and simmer 2 hours. Add water as necessary. Remove from heat and let the pot cool to room temperature. Separate liquid from bones and strain liquid back into the pot. Pick all the meat (and there will be quite a bit) from the bones and return to the liquid in the pot. Strain the liquid again to be sure to remove bay leaf, peppercorns and small bones. Add chopped celery and carrot and simmer until tender. Add noodles and simmer until tender.
