Winco had them for some ridiculously low price so I bought 10 lbs or so. I loaded up my crock pot to the brim, added water to the 70% mark, garlic, onion, and black pepper. Cooked on low 14 hours. I now have the most magnificent dark brown turkey stock for dressing and gravy. 🙂 I deboned the meat and froze it, and will use that as well. Yum, yum!

The meat is good for dressing, gravy, and if you have more left over, turkey salad! -- Om.

Meat cooked for that long will have lost all its flavor. That is, after all, why you cook it so long!

Sorry, was not paying attention. :-) If I pressure cook, I'll cook for about 30 minutes or so. In a stock pot, 4 hours.
The meat still is good for salad.......

No, I agree with Peter, it's not. At least not if you expect it to taste good. There's a fundamental difference between making soup/broth/stock and poaching or braising meat. When making stock your goal is to EXTRACT from the meat every bit of its flavor and its nutrients into the liquid. When cooking meat to eat your goal is to RETAIN as much of its flavor and nutrients so it's good eating. You simply can't have it both ways. -aem
