Turkey Frame Soup

There's more than one way to get leftovers out of our Thanksgiving bird. Even if it's been picked clean, our Thanksgiving turkey keeps giving, as the start to our Turkey Frame Soup.

Cooking Time: 1 hr 40 min

Ingredients

• 1 leftover turkey frame
• 10 cups cold water

You can add some leftover chunked turkey or cooked egg noodles to make this an even heartier soup.
