1 turkey carcass

1 ½ cups coarsely chopped onion

3 stalks celery

½ cup chopped carrot

10 whole black peppercorns

1 pinch dried thyme, or to taste

1 bay leaf

1 ½ pounds carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks

Directions

Bring water and turkey carcass to a boil in a large pot; add 1 1/2 cup chopped onion, 3 stalks celery, 1/2 cup chopped carrot, peppercorns, 1 pinch thyme, and 1 bay leaf.

Pull meat from bones and shred; refrigerate until needed. Strain stock and return liquid to pot.
