Turkey Broth

Just like a previous post on "Roasted Costco Chicken" Soup, when I made chicken broth from boiling the carcass and vegetable scraps, I have completed that process with the Thanksgiving Turkey. So for $10.00 we got 3 meals for 6 people and soup to come.
The carcass and scraps produced about 18 cups of broth, so I foresee many warm meals! After straining the broth twice, I placed the containers in the refrigerator for cooling. Then I scraped off any remaining fat that hardened at the top of the broth and placed the broth in the freezer for use later.I've decided to look to my New Orleans, Louisiana heritage for the first recipe I use the broth for. That will be none other than Southern Turkey Gumbo.It is so delicious, stay posted for instructions.
