Steps:
- Break up turkey carcass and place with leftover meat in a large stock pot.
- Cover completely with water.
- Add chopped onion and bay leaf.
- Bring to boil then cover and simmer for 1 hour (Meat should fall easily from bone).
- Strain juices and pour back in pot, along with one or two cans of chicken broth for a fuller flavor (Boullion is also OK, but keep in mind you will have less liquid to work with).
- Separate meat and chop any large pieces, then return to pot.
- Discard any bones, skin, leftover stuffing and other non-edibles.
- Add beans, tomatoes, garlic and spices.
- Simmer, uncovered, for twenty minutes to reduce liquid.
- You may wish to add a bit of flour, if the sauce is thin: To minimize lumps, ladle a cup of liquid into a mixing bowl and whisk in flour a teaspoon at a time, then stir into chili (Keep in mind that chili will thicken in the refrigerator or freezer, so if you are planning to store it, a little thin is OK).
- Serve and garnish with shredded cheese, chopped onions, scallions, cilantro and sour cream, or dip with crackers.
