Absolutely
If your concerned though, just rosy the neck and gizzard at 400 for 30mins

Yes.
This is one reason why parting up your turkey before cooking is the way to go.
Use the neck, carcass, innards (aside from liver), and wings to make stock for the gravy.

We use a pressure cooker at 15 PSIG and 250 F instead of 212 F boiling at atmos pressure. Great for gumbo, beans, etc,

Yes, but if you roast them all first, you can make an outstanding broth.

Boil the carcass, strain it, add egg noodles and some leftover turkey and have turkey noodle soup.

Agree on roasting and I would try to minimize the amount of water you start with so it ends up being richer and more concentrated. Smash the carcass down or cut it up so it sits down lower in the pot.

Of course you can. Break up the carcass, add onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves, garlic, maybe a bit of Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and bring it to a boil. Set it on a low boil and let it cook for at least 12 hours. If the water gets too low, simply add a bit, but not too much.
When done, strain into a bowl, let it cool near room temperature than refrigerate. Next day take it out the fridge and remove any fat that has come to the top and toss, Then ladle the stock into storage bags or containers for later use if you're not using it right away. Just be aware that there will be some nasty bits at the very bottom that have settled and you don't want them in the saved stock.

Save that fat to make the roux for the gravy. Turkey fat roux with roasted turkey stock is a no-brainer.

Just saying cooking at 15 psig @ 250 F in a pressure cooker for 1 hour is equivalent to 4 hrs at 212 F. I cook the bones, skin, liver, onions, celery, hot peppers. for 1 1/2 hrs (equivalent to 6 hrs boiling at 212F), Cool, strain, refrigerate. skim fat. Freeze excess in qt bags and freeze. We don't use boxed/canned stock.

There's usually not enough fat left to save and the only time I make the effort is when making something like chicken and dumplings and I'll use the fat from chicken stock to use in place of lard to make the dumplings.
I do save bacon grease and tallow that comes from rendering down beef fat from briskets and pork fat that comes off untrimmed loins and Boston butts.

Can you boil a turkey carcass
Ya don’t boil it. Bring to a simmer, then turn fire down.
As suggested above, roast carcass first, add onions, celery and carrots and brown that, then add water. Skin generally too fatty and if liquid actually boils, it can cause your stock to be greasy

Aside from that, the flavor from homemade broth is exponentially better than canned.

All good advise, but I’d leave out the W, salt, and pepper. Old plastic yogurt containers of different sizes are great for freezing, as they’re premeasured for when you need to use the stock later.
