Though canned turkey broth is now available, homemade stock will give an unbeatable true turkey flavor to your gravy. It's easy to make ahead from purchased turkey wings, and can be frozen up to six months. This recipe makes about 10 cups of stock.

Categories     Soup/Stew     turkey     Thanksgiving

Yield Makes 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds turkey wings (about 3 large wings)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
1 medium carrot, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 medium stalk celery with leaves, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
6 sprigs fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 dried bay leaf
Special Equipment
large flameproof roasting pan

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.)

KITTENCAL'S HOMEMADE DEEP RICH TURKEY STOCK/BROTH



Kittencal's Homemade Deep Rich Turkey Stock/Broth image

Roasting/browning the turkey bones and vegetables firstly in the oven will create a more intense deep rich stock I would not even think of making stock without using this method and you will see the difference for yourself after you try this stock --- I use this stock in so many recipes I even make gravy with it and you will use this for so many things also, it is wonderful to have handy in the freezer, to thaw just microwave for a couple of minutes or refrigerate overnight -- serving amounts are listed for a 12-13 pound turkey and about 4 quarts of water, you may use a larger turkey with more water just make certain to use enough water to cover the carcass and veggies --- if possible don't discard all the extra bones from the legs, thighs and wings and add into the pot along with the carcass the more bones the better!

HOMEMADE CHICKEN OR TURKEY STOCK



Homemade Chicken or Turkey Stock image

I have to watch my sodium intake so I always keep homemade stock in my freezer, even the lower-sodium brands in the store are too salty for my taste. This is a great 3 for 1 recipe because you get a great Roasted Chicken meal, a slew of chicken stock, & leftovers, all in one cooking. I use the leftover chicken to make a Chicken Enchilada Pie or chicken salad sandwiches.

Categories     Other Sauces

Number Of Ingredients 9

- chicken or ckn pcs. or turkey
1 cup(s) carrots
2 - celery stalks
1/2 - sweet onion
2-3 clove(s) garlic or 1-2 tsp granulated garlic
1 teaspoon(s) poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon(s) sage
1/2 teaspoon(s) thyme
1/2 teaspoon(s) black pepper

Steps:

  • Place chicken or turkey in 18 qt. electric roaster, celery, onion carrots and a little poultry seasoning and sage. Cover completely with water. Turn roaster to 250°, cover and cook over night.
  • Remove chicken or turkey from broth to cool. Take off skin, if desired, and pull off chicken. Divide and freeze in ziploc bags for later use. Once broth has cooled, place in large bowl and refrigerate overnite or for several hours so fat comes to the top. Skim off fat and divide and freeze broth in ziploc freezer bags or freezer containers.
  • For smaller amounts use a 6 qt elec. roaster. Reduce amount of chicken and cut seasonings in half. You can also use a crock pot
  • NOTE: You can also use the turkey bones after your Thanksgiving meal and any leftover turkey you might not want to keep. I also buy bone in chicken thighs and remove the bone myself saving over a $1 a lb. When I do this I save the bones in a freezer bag and freeze until I get a gallon or two bag of them, then I use them to make broth. If I have enough for my big roaster I use it, if not I use my small one.
