It generates a ton of useful meat for dressing and gravy as well. Plus
if you cook it without onion or onion powder, the kitties and/or
doggies get a real treat, too. I just threw in 7 large necks and
about a cup of water, with a touch of garlic powder. The necks
generated the rest of the broth.

Turkey is great in that regard.
