Pour the measured water into the large pot and transfer the turkey carcass, no need to cut it into more pieces. Keep the heat high until the broth starts to boil. Skim all the foam appearing on the top of your broth. Any broth tastes better when it's simmering for five hours, so you should do it for your soup as well. |
