I understand the situation, the remaining carcass and meat should be roasted (do not salt) just as if that’s the part you going to eat, which you are eventually. Once that part has been roasted strip the meat that you want to use and place it in portioned freezer bags for later use wether it be for dressings/stuffings, sandwiches, salads, etc. With what you have left drop it in a pot after you have made a mirepoix, the Holy Trinity, cover with water and SIMMER, at about the 1 hour mark do a taste test, you’ll know if it’s to your satisfaction, either keep simmering or cool and strain. Divide into needed portions and freeze.
The carcuss can be boiled for an hour with onion, garlic and celery – strain of the fat and cool.
use with in a couple of days or freeze – for stock = make gravy / soups/ sauces / pies.
Use up the raw turkey bits – cook of and bind in a white or cheese sauce, stir in pasta or cooked vegetables top with cheese and bake until golden.
Make a stir fry, first marinate strips in soya, lemon and chilli – toss with noodles.
?? I question your cooking skills…
You boiled the left overs??? OK (strong – gross ??? HOW? you just dilute with water or chicken stock)
As for making the Stock … You need to “CAN” your results and that may involve using a pressure cooker..
after boiling scrape every bit of meat from the bones when the meat comes off easily..
I’m past my two points typing skills
freeze the shredded meat (1 cup) in sandwich bags, inside zip lock bags,,Make tacos,, turkey sandwiches,, salads etc
Why would you buy a whole turkey and waste the rest? You can just buy the breast of turkey and NOT have any waste..OR you can roast the entire turkey and eat all the light/dark meat or make a turkey cassarole, soup or stock from the bones/left over meat…..
Good luck
Um turkey sandwhiches, or a chicken ala king, but with turkey. It contains egg noodles, white gravy, peas or other desired vegetables. Turkey pot pie??? Um…im out of ideas
lol…
roast it, then remove the meat. make the stock with the bones.

Turkey Empenadas
1 c cooked turkey, cubed
1 1/3 c cheddar cheese, grated
4 oz green chilies, drained
1 c flour whole wheat
1/4 c cornmeal
1/2 t salt
1/3 c butter
1/4 c water, cold
1 t milk
4 t cornmeal
Mix together turkey, cheese and chilies; set aside.
In a different bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal and salt. Cut
in butter until particles are the size of small peas (a pastry
blender makes this an easy job). Sprinkle with water and mix
with pastry blender or fork until pastry can be formed into a
ball. Add a little more water if necessary. Divide dough into
balls, one ball for each two servings; divide turkey mixture
into same number as dough.
Turn one dough ball onto floured board and roll into an 11 inch
square. Place on oiled cookie sheet. Spoon one part of turkey
mixture over 1/2 of pastry, coming to 1 1/2 inch of the edge.
Fold other half of pastry over it, and crimp edges to seal them.
Repeat this procedure with each ball of dough. Brush turnovers
with milk. Sprinkle remaining corn meal on top. Bake at 400
degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly; slice into wedges to serve.
Serves 4.
