Instructions

1. In a stockpot, combine the turkey carcass, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour to blend the flavors.
2. Remove the meat from the bones and set aside. Discard the carcass. Use a slotted spoon to remove and discard the cooked vegetables and bay leaves.
3. Stir in the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, poultry seasoning, rosemary, and onion powder. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
