2. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 6 - 8 hours, or set crock pot on high for 6 hours.
3. Remove the turkey from the liquid then separate turkey meat in small bite size chunks from all bones, cartilage, excess skin, gristle from the turkey and discard. Be very careful when doing this as there are a lot of small bones.
