So if I smoke a turkey breast can I use the carcass after smoking add gibblets neck along with some carrots onion celery and spices to make a turkey stock or should I use only raw and roast turkey parts for making a stock? You know thinking the left over carcass after I slice the turkey breast.
 
I remove the spine of my birds then the spine, neck and veggies go in a 400 degree oven to brown. All gets covered with water and simmered to make stock....JJ
 
I've not done turkey but I routinely save all the bone from smoked chicken and make them into broth in my electric pressure cooker. That smoked stock makes excellent beans that I blend into smoky bean dip.
 
I have a big ziploc full of mixed bird stuff. I think the the marrow from already roasted bird is just as good as raw . I mix them both. Water and veggies with seasoning to cover a couple inches over. Boil and reduce a couple hours is all. Strain through strainer.
You can put all the bones on a cookie sheet and roast them 450 for a few minutes to add some flavor too. Carrots and onion with it.. garlic bulb halved in the liquid..
 
I put all my bones in my crockpot and turn it on when I go to bed. In the morning strain everything and there's your broth. Same basic ingredients like carrots, onions, bay leaf and celery. Add about 10 cups of water. Just google slow cooker turkey broth.
