Tips:

  • Use a variety of turkey bones: For a rich and flavorful stock, use a combination of turkey bones, such as the neck, back, wings, and carcass. You can also add giblets, if desired.
  • Roast the bones before simmering: Roasting the bones before simmering adds depth of flavor to the stock. To roast the bones, place them on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425°F for 30 minutes, or until browned.
  • Use a large pot: You will need a large pot to hold all of the ingredients for the stock. A 6-quart or 8-quart pot is a good size.
  • Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs add flavor to the stock. Common vegetables used in turkey stock include carrots, celery, and onions. Common herbs include parsley, thyme, and bay leaves.
  • Simmer the stock for several hours: The longer you simmer the stock, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the stock for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
  • Strain the stock: Once the stock has finished simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids. You can also use a cheesecloth-lined colander to strain the stock.
  • Store the stock: Turkey stock can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Turkey stock is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, such as soups, stews, and sauces. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey bones. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful turkey stock that will add depth of flavor to your favorite dishes.
