- Roast: Add turkey pieces to a roasting pan with 6 celery stalks (cut into thirds) and 3 quartered onions. Generously season with poultry seasoning, cracked black pepper and flake salt. Roast at 450°F for 1 to 1.5 hours, until golden brown.
- Simmer: Transfer everything (turkey, bones, veggies) to a large stockpot. Add 32 to 48 oz turkey broth (up to 64 oz). Simmer for at least 2 hours, until the meat falls off the bone. Strain out the solidsâyouâll be left with a rich, flavorful broth. Add the broth to a stock pot.
- Make the gravy: Whisk in a roux (flour or xanthan gum for low-carb) to thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Don't waste the meat from the bones, freeze for later so you can make soup, pot pies, etc.
