  • 1 turkey carcass
  • cups leftover stuffing
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 2 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 1 onion peeled and diced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 Tablespoon poultry seasoning

  • Garlic salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups regular long-grain white rice uncooked

Instructions
 

  • Place the turkey carcass in a large, deep pot and add the stuffing, celery, carrots, onion, bay leaves, poultry seasoning, sage, and chicken broth. Pour in additional water if needed to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to medium, and simmer for about 1 hour, skimming off any foam. Remove the carcass and any bones.
