Instructions

  1. 1 Place turkey carcass in a large, deep pot. Add stuffing, onion, carrots, celery, poultry seasoning, sage, and bay leaves.
  2. 2 Pour in chicken broth. Add additional water if needed to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, skimming off any foam, for about 1 hour.

  4. 4 Season soup with garlic salt and pepper. Stir in rice and return to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Stir in peas and continue to simmer until rice is tender, about 10 minutes more.
  6. 6 Adjust seasonings to taste before serving.
  7. 7 Serve hot and enjoy!
