Turkey Noodle Soup

 Chris (Ohio) says:
Makes for a great soup but leave out the bouillon. The reason for using the turkey carcass in the first place is for authentic broth. Bouillon will add too much salt and chicken flavor to your turkey soup. Adding the flour and butter, or roux, adds nice texture to the soup. I added parsnips and mushrooms to mine for an even heartier soup.
