I'm sure everybody is going to have leftover turkey and for sure the carcass/bones. I HIGHLY recommend making poultry stock/broth from those. Add in some uncooked turkey/chicken meat and bones. Add onions, celery, carrots, spices etc and let simmer for hours. This is BY FAR the best stock you will ever have.

We always keep bones/carcass of our smoked/roasted poultry so the misses can make a great stock. She just made some this past weekend. Stock for stews and soups, the meat for stews, tortillas etc.

Don't let that leftover turkey go to waste!!

I have never done this - definitely going to do it this year. Love the idea about freezing in ice cube trays
 
The freezing cubes idea is fantastic. I have a pair of silicone ice cube trays, that makes fairly large blocks, that I use for things like this. It's great to be able to grab a few cubes of condensed flavor.
 
That smoked turkey stock is my favorite for gumbo.

Ding ding ding ding! This is now a Thanksgiving tradition for my family. We look forward to Saturday-after-Thanksgiving gumbo almost as much as Thanksgiving.
 
We've always made stock from our Greenburg turkey carcass.... Greenburg has a great recipe on their website. Too bad the plant had an explosion and fire this year - chalk up more weirdness for 2020.
 
Use to make stock often. Frozen spatchcock backbones, rotisserie carcasses, along with a couple fresh chickens. Always throw in at least a pound of chicken feet.



Once up to a boil and skimming off the crud, turn the burner to extra low and let it go for 24 hours, then cool.

Made a batch couple years ago that turned out I couldn't tend to for 4-5 days. After 24 hours on the heat, turned it off for 12 hours to let cool. Turned the burner back on for 12 hours, then off for 12. Repeated that a few times with the stock pot never leaving the stove. Added some water a couple times. Best batch I ever made. Deep rich color, very gelatinous, and excellent flavor.
