Step 1
Start by placing your turkey carcass in a large pot or Dutch oven, then cover it generously with water.
Step 2
Bring the pot to a lively boil, then lower the heat to medium.
Step 3
Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about an hour, filling your kitchen with a warm, savory aroma.

Once the hour is up, carefully remove the carcass and set it aside to cool.

When it’s cool enough to handle, pick off the turkey meat, cutting it into bite-sized pieces, and discard the bones.

Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir until everything is well combined and smooth, cooking for another 5 minutes to develop those flavors.

Keep stirring until the soup thickens, which should take about 2 minutes.
Step 12
Then, add the remaining 8 cups of turkey broth, along with the turkey meat, half-and-half, fettuccine, prepared stuffing, salt, chicken bouillon, black pepper, and poultry seasoning.
