Footnotes

Cook's Note:
This recipe can be adapted to the stove top for a shorter cook time (saute veggies before adding them to the broth).
Although I prefer the onion and celery minced, the carrots and turkey meat should be cut into larger bite-sized pieces.
Editor's Note:
The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the carcass and vegetables in the broth. The actual amount of these ingredients consumed will vary.
Easy Cleanup
