Turkey Bone Soup

ingredients

1
After Thanksgiving, you have an entire bird minus the light and dark meat consumed at the traditional feast. This soup makes use of the entire bird and creates a large amount of delicious soup that you can freeze and enjoy for many months.
2
In a large pot, put the entire leftover turkey (you may want to break it into pieces) and cover with water. Simmer for 2 hours. Remove the pieces and allow them to cool. Strain the broth to make sure you are starting with good stock.
3
While turkey is cooking, cut vegetables into bite-sized pieces. You can add whatever vegetables you like, onion, garlic, etc.
4
Piece-by-piece, remove the meat from the bones. It should easily be removed and you can cut into bite-sized pieces. Return all meat to the stock-pot and dispose of carcass, fat, skin, etc.
5
Make rice and add to pot.
6
Return all ingredients to pot and cook through, simmering for an hour or so.
7
Serve with crusty garlic bread and a wonderful salad. Freeze leftovers in meal-sized containers.
