My turkey bones, cloves of garlic, carrots, crushed pepper, and 6 cups of water
have been slow cooking in the crock pot all night long. I stuck a thermometer
in and it's 200 degrees. The house smells really good. My wife, the "let the
chicken cook for 2 hours and that's enough" soup girl, even said it's looking good.

Low and slow always wins.

Cooking the stock down this way gives the bones a chance to release some of the marrow enriching the broth and enhancing the flavor. Your broth will be full of nutrients that a 2 hour broth can't even begin to touch.

If you let it go and keep adding a tad of water when needed for about 24 hours the stock should begin to set up with its cold (like jelly) then you know you have extracted everything you can from the carcas. This concentrated stock can be jarred and frozen (how ever you choose to store it, I freeze) and you will need to add water to dilute it for soup and stew.

When you think its ready strain off the broth before using it. You'll find tiny bits of bone and such in the bottom that you want filter out before using to cook and serve your family.

At this point you could put it back in a large stock pot add any vegetables or noodles or rice or dumplings and bits of chicken allowing to simmer until done (less than 1 hour) and serve an incredible simple yet amazing supper to your family.

You will not ever be tempted to throw out the bones or buy canned stock from the store again.
