If I have a roast turkey dinner, is there any reason why I could not use the left over carcass for stock?

[Zalbar]

hell yes!!! Makes stock that tastes exactly like whole roasted turkey. Is teh awesum. Prolly would reduce down to some awesome awesome sauce.

What I understand is that it may take more of those bones and a longer simmer time, but yes, those bones will work fine.

Thanks for the tips!

I always save the backs and bones from roasted chicken and make stock with it - the resulting stock is especially good with mushroom risotto.  i hate to admit it, but the grocery store roasted chicken bones make the best stock (IMO)

Absolutely no reason not to use the bones left over from a roasted chicken to make stock with. I used to buy only whole chickens for the house(I love roasted chicken- one of my favorite meals), as a reason to have to regularly break down a whole chicken, and to have bones left over to make stock. Hell, even you made chicken wings... save the bones and blanch them first before they go into the stock and they'll work just fine. Not that I'd do that in the restaurant, though...

Yup, with the crew here. That's what those leftover bones and bits are made for!
