Cut off all of the good meal meat off the bird. Put the big bones in a large pot with 6 cups of water and simmer for 2.5 hrs, adding water if needed.
While simmering, cut 3 large carrots and 3 celery stocks, cut up a med. onion. Sauté the onion in butter to a golden brown. Remove what meat is on the bones. Shave or shred-up about 1/8 -1/4 lbs. of turkey. Add salt and pepper to taste. First drain out all broth from pot and clean out the small bones. Put broth into pot and add turkey meat bring to simmer 10 -20 min.
