How to make homemade turkey stock in your slow cooker or your Instant Pot!
Break the turkey carcass apart at the joints where you can, in order to be able to fit it into the slow cooker. Remove all the skin and fatty parts as well, save any extra meat for later use. The bones are NOT going to be dry and bare, there is still fat at the joints etc, don't pick them too bare!
Place the turkey pieces into a large slow cooker. Add the onion, the carrots and the celery stalks ( if you have the leafy tops those are amazing for flavor, add them in!)
Add in the salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, fresh parsley, and then cover the turkey with water, just to the top of it, around 8-10 cups.
Simmer on low for 10-12 hours until the turkey bones are starting to break down, any leftover meat is falling off the bone and the broth is looking cloudy. This is best done overnight.

nutritional values will vary on how much fat you put in, etc.
You don't want too much fat in a stock, you are using the bones and some of the fat for the richness. Leaving the skin and fat in the recipe makes a really greasy stock. The choice is up to you!
