Instructions

In a large stockpot, combine the turkey carcass, onions, carrots, celery, green bell pepper, garlic, chicken bouillon cubes, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Add enough water to completely cover the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer gently for approximately 1 hour, or until the flavors have melded together beautifully. Remove the stockpot from the heat and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Carefully strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a large bowl. Discard the solids, retaining only the clear, flavorful stock.
