PS: Two more questions:
1. What about the skin? Does that go into the stock pot, too?
2. What about the dressing that was made inside the bird? Can that go
into the stock pot, too?

Absolutely!

IMO, anything you like can go in the stock. After Thanksgiving, we
do a stock pot, and it involves some leftover dressing as well as some
of the veggies from the meal as well as the carcass, herbs, etc.

It can, but I wouldn't.
Too unpredictable.

That's pretty good.
Yes, add the skin.
No, don't add the dressing, but don't stess about small bits of
dressing that have adhered to the carcase.
I would strain it using a sieve, not cheesecloth, but that's not
terribly important. A sieve is a lot easier.
I'm sure you'll end up with a good stock using that method. Don't
forget to add salt when making the SOUP, not when MAKING the stock.

Yes, but I use a screen strainer rather than cheescloth. :-)
Cheers!

Cheesecloth is good for the bouquet garni of herbs and spices, peppercorns,
etc.
