Day-After-Thanksgiving Turkey Carcass Soup

This soup made with leftover turkey is an easy and delicious meal that puts your turkey carcass to good use. Save the carcass from your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner — and some stuffing too — and make this tasty soup for lunch or a light dinner the next day. I usually make cornbread muffins to serve with it.
