Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

Neck and giblets (excluding liver) from turkey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 celery rib, coarsely chopped
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
1 onion, peeled and quartered
10 cups water
1 Turkish bay leaf or 1/2 California
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Pat neck and giblets dry. Heat oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown neck and giblets, 10 to 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, until neck and giblets are very tender, about 3 hours. Pour stock through a large fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, reserving gizzard and heart for gravy if desired but discarding remaining solids. If using broth right away, let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and discard fat.
  • If stock measures less than 4 cups, add water. If more, boil, uncovered, in clean pot until reduced to 4 cups.
  • If not using stock right away, cool completely, uncovered, then chill, covered, before skimming fat (it will be easier to remove when cool or cold).
  • Pressure cooker option:
  • Brown neck and giblets in a 6-quart pressure cooker, uncovered, according to procedure above. Reduce amount of water from 10 cups to 5 cups but keep remaining ingredients the same. Add remaining ingredients, seal pressure cooker with lid, and cook at high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions, 45 minutes. Put pressure cooker in sink (do not remove lid) and run cold water over lid until pressure goes down completely. Remove lid, then strain and measure stock according to procedure above.

TURKEY GIBLET STOCK

Provided by Andrea Albin

Categories     Onion     Poultry     turkey     Quick & Easy     Celery     Carrot     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Neck and giblets (excluding liver) from a 12- to 14-lb turkey
1 celery rib, coarsely chopped
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
1 onion (not peeled), quartered
1 3/4 cups chicken stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 cups water
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cut neck into 1-inch pieces. Brown neck, giblets, celery, carrot, and onion, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Add chicken stock, scraping up brown bits.
  • Transfer mixture to a 3-quart saucepan. Add water, bay leaf, peppercorns, and thyme and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced to about 4 cups, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl (discard solids). Skim off and discard any fat.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: For the best flavor, use fresh giblets from a recently butchered turkey. If you can't find fresh giblets, frozen giblets will also work, but they may have a slightly less intense flavor.
  • Roast the giblets before simmering: Roasting the giblets before simmering them adds depth of flavor to the stock. Be sure to roast the giblets until they are well browned, but not burned.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: A variety of vegetables will add flavor and complexity to the stock. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, and garlic.
  • Season the stock well: Don't be afraid to season the stock well. A good starting point is to add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the pot. You can adjust the seasoning to taste after the stock has simmered.
  • Simmer the stock for at least 2 hours: The longer you simmer the stock, the more flavor it will have. Simmer the stock for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for a richer flavor.
  • Strain the stock before using: Before using the stock, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any solids. You can also skim the fat from the top of the stock if desired.

Conclusion:

Turkey giblet stock is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes. It's easy to make and can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. So next time you have a turkey, be sure to save the giblets and make a batch of this flavorful stock.
