Steps:
- Position rack in top third of oven and preheat to 450°F.
- Using heavy cleaver, chop wings into 2-inch pieces. (See Test-Kitchen Tips, below.) Spread wings in roasting pan and roast, turning with tongs after 20 minutes, until deeply browned, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in 6-quart stock pot over moderate heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add wings and any pan juices and reduce heat to low.
- Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners on high heat and cook until browned bits are sizzling, about 1 minute. Add 2 cups cold water and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits with flat wooden spatula or spoon. Pour liquid into pot and add enough cold water to cover ingredients by 1 inch, about 14 cups.
- Raise heat to high and bring to boil, skimming foam from surface. Add parsley, thyme, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, 3 hours, adding water as needed to keep wings covered.
- Pour stock through fine-mesh sieve into large bowl, discarding solids. If using immediately, let stand until yellow fat rises to surface, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and discard fat. If not using immediately, place bowl in larger bowl of iced water. Let stand, changing ice water as it warms, until stock is tepid, at least 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, then scrape off and discard fat. (Stock can be made ahead and refrigerated in airtight container up to 2 days or frozen up to 6 months. Reheat in saucepan over low heat before using for stuffing and turkey.)

Steps:
- Rinse neck and giblets well. Combine all ingredients and 7 cups water in a medium stockpot. Place over high heat; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer stock 1 1/2 hours, skimming off foam that floats to the top as needed.
- Pass the stock through a cheesecloth-lined sieve; discard the solids. Let stock cool, and refrigerate until ready to use.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. Onions, carrots, and celery are classic additions to turkey stock, but you can also add other vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, and leeks. This will give your stock a more complex flavor.
- Roast the vegetables before adding them to the stock. Roasting the vegetables will caramelize them and add a deeper flavor to your stock.
- Use a whole turkey carcass. A whole turkey carcass will give your stock a richer flavor than just using bones. If you don't have a whole turkey carcass, you can use a combination of turkey bones and meat.
- Simmer the stock for at least 4 hours. The longer you simmer the stock, the more flavor it will have. You can simmer it for up to 24 hours, but 4 hours is a good starting point.
- Strain the stock before using it. Straining the stock will remove any solids, such as bones and vegetables. This will make your stock smooth and easy to use.
Conclusion:
Making homemade 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 a few simple steps, you can make a flavorful and nutritious stock that will add depth and richness to your favorite recipes.
