Yield Makes 6 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 pounds leftover turkey bones (with some meat still attached), broken into large sections if necessary

1/2 pound celery stalks, cut into 4-inch lengths

8 sprigs parsley

Time 2h30m

Yield 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

Bones of 1 cooked turkey
5 quarts water
2 onions, quartered
1 celery stalk
1 carrot
1 dried bay leaf
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, combine turkey bones, water, onions, celery, carrot, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, skimming occasionally, about 2 hours.
  • Strain into airtight containers; cool completely. Cover, and refrigerate up to 3 days, or freeze up to 6 months.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your stock will be. Try using a combination of carrots, celery, onions, garlic, leeks, and fennel.
  • Roast the vegetables before using them: Roasting the vegetables will caramelize them and add a deeper flavor to your stock. Simply toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes.
  • Use a good quality turkey carcass: The better the quality of the turkey carcass, the better the flavor of your stock will be. Look for a turkey carcass that is free of skin and fat.
  • Simmer the stock for at least 2 hours: The longer you simmer the stock, the more flavor it will develop. Aim to simmer the stock for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for a richer flavor.
  • Strain the stock before using it: Once the stock has finished simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. You can also use a cheesecloth-lined colander to strain the stock.

Conclusion:

Making turkey stock is a great way to use up leftover turkey and create a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make a delicious turkey stock that will add flavor to your favorite soups, stews, and sauces.
