Ingredients
Directions
Place turkey carcass in a large soup pot and cover with water; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the remaining meat falls off the bones, about 1 hour.
Remove turkey carcass from the pot; pick off and chop any remaining turkey meat, discarding bones.

Cook’s Note
If you want to freeze this soup, it's best to leave out the potatoes as they don't keep their texture.
You can use 1 cup cooked rice, wide egg noodles, or small pasta such as ditalini instead of barley.
