Instructions

1 Strip off all the usable meat from the carcass & refrigerate.
2 Separate wings, thighs, and legs from the carcass and use kitchen shears to cut
the carcass into smaller pieces. Layer the bones in a large roasting pan.
3 Add the veggies and garlic to the roasting pan. Roast together until the bones
are brown, about 40 minutes. Stir halfway along for even browning.
4 Transfer the bones and vegetables to a large pot. Add 1 cup of water to the
roasting pan. As the water steams, scrape the pan with a wooden spoon to release
the flavor infused brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add to your
stockpot.
5 Add the spices and enough water to cover the bones by a couple of inches. Turn
the heat to medium-high & bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer at least
2-3 hours. Stir occasionally and skim off any foam.
6 Remove the larger bones from the stock and strain the liquid through a fine mesh
sieve into a large container. Discard the bones and solids. Let the stock cool
completely, then refrigerate. Once the stock cools in the refrigerator, the fat
will rise to the top. Skim off the fat.
7 Set aside 4 cups and freeze the rest.
8 In a soup kettle or Dutch oven, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery in butter
until tender. Reduce heat. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually add 1 qt. of
reserved broth. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
9 Add cream, rice, salt, bouillon, pepper, remaining broth, and reserved turkey.
Reduce heat, cover & simmer for 30-35 minutes or until rice is tender.
