1 large cooking onion, chopped (or 2 small)
1 large parsley sprig
2 bay leaves

Put carcass, onions, carrots, & celery into large stock pot. Fill with water enough to just about cover carcass. Add parsley, bay leaves, cayenne, salt, & pepper.
4
Bring to a boil; Reduce heat to low and simmer 1-2 hours.
5
Using tongs remove the carcass & all bones to a separate plate. Remove parsley & bay leaves, and discard. Remove all the turkey meat from the bone & put back into pot. Pay particular attention to the neck meat & the meat around the upper spine - it is rich & delicious!

Add pepe to turkey soup.

Serve with low-sodium saltines & salt & pepper to add to taste for each person's bowl. [hot sauce can also be a good garnish!].
