If you submit your renewal application after the December 31st deadline and on or before June 30th, you are required to pay the late renewal. (Example: Itâs May 20, 2015 and your certification expired on December 31, 2014. You can still submit the renewal late fee until June 30, 2015.).
Place the turkey carcass into a large soup pot or stock pot and pour in the water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the turkey frame until the remaining meat falls off the bones, about 1 hour. Remove the turkey carcass and remove and chop any remaining turkey meat. Chop the meat.
When you have finished with the chicken, make chicken stock for soup with the carcass. I would say 3 days if you were being cautious, in reality food last longer than the packet says, the manufactures have to cover themselves so they put on the shortest possible date to be on the safe side.
