Everyone ate it without complaints and finished their portions(and I surprised my husband by telling him it was sweet potato and not carrots in the recipe). However neither of us was really wowed by it. It did have a unique flavor though.

We had smoked one turkey and roasted another for Thanksgiving and I had one large carcass from the smoked one left (had already made broth and froze it from the roasted one). I first broke the carcass and leg bones I had saved in half and put one in one 6-qt crock and one half in another (I have a total of five crocks!).

it's totally not a stupid question....Hi Julie,<br /><br />it's totally not a stupid question. You can still use the carcass to create the soup base. If you think there's too much fat left from the skin and the back meat, after the broth has cooked, you can let it sit and get to room temp. Once it hits room temperature, refrigerate for a few hours, and all the fat will float to the surface, so you can skim it off.<br /><br />Stephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-54131485492479571192009-12-02T16:21:13.131-08:002009-12-02T16:21:13.131-08:00Mmmm...

I have never bothered to save the turkey carcass for soup before. This year I did (I just wrapped it up really good and stuck it in my extra freezer). I'd like to try this stew but the carcass it pretty picked over. The only meat left would be the undesirable fatty back meat. I couldn't actually use that, could I?TastefullyJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17238271312824893826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-81196892452927150042009-12-02T13:43:00.816-08:002009-12-02T13:43:00.816-08:00We used your stuffing recipe you posted last year ...We used your stuffing recipe you posted last year for Thanksgiving.
