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!

KITTENCAL'S RICH HOMEMADE BEEF STOCK (CROCK-POT OR STOVE TOP)



Kittencal's Rich Homemade Beef Stock (Crock-Pot or Stove Top) image

Brushing the bones with tomato paste then browning in the oven firstly then combined with the slow cooking crockpot method will produce the most flavorful richest beef broth --- I usually prepare the ingredients early in the morning, by late evening you will have a wonderful rich beef broth, or you may cook overnight --- the stock may be frozen after cooling, if you don't have a crock pot you may certainly simmer this over very low heat on top of the stove, it will still be delicious! The more bones you use the richer your stock will be, so use lots!

2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes (optional)
8 -10 black peppercorns

KITTENCAL'S PERFECT ROASTED WHOLE TURKEY (GREAT FOR BEGINNERS)



Kittencal's Perfect Roasted Whole Turkey (Great for Beginners) image

Here you will find easy step-by-step instructions that will result in the best juiciest turkey you will ever have! cooking the turkey breast-side down will create a tender juicy turkey without brining or using other methods --- if you are stuffing the turkey you will need approximately 8 cups of prepared stuffing for an 18-pound turkey --- the cooking time for this recipe is for an 18-pound stuffed turkey cooked at 325 degrees F but you have the option of stuffing or not --- my best advise for a beginner is to use a meat thermometer inserted in the breast area, this way you will be assured that your turkey is cooked to the proper temperature, you can cover the uncooked stuffed turkey with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight and just pop it in the oven the following mid-morning or whenever you are ready to cook the turkey --- make certain that you have lots of chicken broth handy for this recipe as you will most likely need to keep adding more into the pan while cooking --- see cooking times on the bottom for whole turkeys --- see my recipe#145064

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 4h25m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18 lb) whole turkey
1/3 cup melted butter, cooled (can use margarine)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white salt (or use as much salt as desired)
fresh ground black pepper (lots of pepper!)
2 quarts chicken stock (might use less)
8 cups favorite prepared stuffing (optional)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 325 degrees F, convection oven heat set to 320 degrees F.
  • Set oven rack to lowest position.
  • Remove the giblets and neck from the cavity.
  • Rinse the turkey well with cold water inside and out then pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Place the turkey on a rack on a roasting pan.
  • In a small bowl mix together the melted butter with oil (I also like to add in 1 teaspoon garlic powder with the oil/butter mixture if you are a garlic-lover then use it).
  • Fill the inside cavity loosley with prepared stuffing (if you are not using stuffing then tie the legs together with cotton butchers twine).
  • Using clean hands rub the outside of the turkey with the oil/butter/garlic mixture.
  • Season the turkey all over with salt and lots fresh ground black pepper.
  • If you are NOT stuffing the bird place breast-side down on the rack, if stuffing leave breast-side up.
  • Place/tent a large piece of heavy foil over the turkey.
  • Place the pan in the oven, then pour about 4-5 cups chicken broth in the pan.
  • Keep basting the turkey about every 30-40 minutes with the pan juices on the bottom of the pan (removing the foil and re-tenting every time you baste).
  • If you see the juices starting to evaporate then add in more broth to the pan about 2 cups at a time.
  • After about 2-1/2 hours of cooking time remove the foil.
  • Keep roasting (325 degrees F) until the internal thermometer reads 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
  • The total cooking time for this 18-pound stuffed bird should be about 4 hours.
  • Transfer the cooked turkey to a large serving platter, cover loosley with foil and let rest 30 minutes before carving (DO NOT slice the turkey before 30 minutes or all juices will flow out of the bird!).
  • --------------------------------------------.
  • **NOTE** cooking times for whole turkeys cooked at 325 degrees are as follows.
  • For an 8-12 pound turkey, roast for 2-3/4 to 3 hours.
  • For a 12-14 pound turkey, roast for 3 to 3-3/4 hours.
  • For a 14-18 pound turkey, roast for 3-3/4 to 4-1/4 hours.
  • For an 18-20 pound turkey, roast for 4-1/2 to 4-3/4 hours.

KITTENCAL'S HOMEMADE PORK STOCK



Kittencal's Homemade Pork Stock image

To insure a rich dark stock the pork bones must be oven-roasted before boiling --- this stock freezes well and makes the best homemade gravy! --- make this when you have some time as it needs a long very slow cooking time --- to save time you may roast the bones up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate until ready to use for the stock, or you may the roast bones and keep in your freezer until ready to make the stock --- do not use pork hocks or pork chops only pork ribs will work the best --- yield is only estimated it will depend on how much water you use to make the stock and some water will evaporate while simmering, prep time does not include roasting the bones firstly.

Categories     Stocks

Time 4h20m

Yield 15 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 -6 lbs pork side ribs (or use bone-in country-style ribs, I use a combination of both, sliced into smaller pieces)
1/3 cup tomato paste (or as needed to lightly brush onto the ribs)
cold water
10 black peppercorns
2 medium onions (quartered , do not peel leave the skin on)
2 carrots, peeled
1 large celery rib
12 large fresh garlic cloves, sliced in half (I just use a whole head garlic)
1 tablespoon salt (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Grease a large jelly-roll pan.
  • Place the ribs on the pan and using a pastry brush, coat the ribs very lightly on both sides with tomato paste (do not use too much tomato paste just use enough to barely coat the ribs).
  • Since there is a fair amount of ribs you might need to roast the ribs in 2 batches that is why I would advise you to do this a day or a few days ahead.
  • Roast the ribs for about 25-30 minutes, then turn the ribs over and roast for another 25 minutes or until browned (careful not to burn).
  • At this point you may refrigerate or freeze the ribs until ready to make the stock.
  • Place the ribs in the stockpot along with all remaining ingredients.
  • Pour in water to completely cover the ribs and to about three-quarters to the top of the pot; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • As the broth comes to a simmer skim off any foam that has accumulated on top.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 4 hours, simmering at the barest possible simmer to avoid bruising the bones (you may simmer longer if desired).
  • Remove the stockpot from the heat and allow to rest for about 1-1/2 hours.
  • Ladle off and discard any fat that has accumulated on the top of the stock.
  • Using long tongs remove the ribs from the pot (discard or save).
  • Place a fine strainer over a large bowl and strain the stock into the bowl.
  • Allow the stock to come to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze in 1 or 2-cup plastic containers.

RICH TURKEY STOCK



Rich Turkey Stock image

I never seem to have enough drippings (no matter how ample) to make as much gravy as I need--at least 1/3 cup of gravy per person, as far as I'm concerned. You can prepare stock weeks before Thanksgiving so you have it on hand not only for making gravy, but also for thinning soups, braising vegetables and moistening stuffings. MAKE AHEAD: The stock can be refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for 1 month. This recipe is from the test kitchen for "Perfect Gravy."

1 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh ground pepper

  • In a large roasting pan, roast the turkey parts for 1 1/2 hours, or until well browned and transfer to a large pot.

KITTENCAL'S BEST CHICKEN STOCK/BROTH (CROCK POT OPTION)



Kittencal's Best Chicken Stock/Broth (Crock Pot Option) image

Plan ahead this method takes 2 days to create the best most richest flavorful stock, far better and cheaper than any canned broth, once you try this you will never purchase cans of broth again! --- this can be done either on a stove top or in a crock pot but start the stock firstly on the stove top then transfer to a crock pot --- the same method may be used for turkey stock use the carcass and leftover legs, thigh and wing bones from your roasted turkey in place of the chicken pieces, also save your carcass and bones from roasted chickens and freeze them to throw in the pot, roasted bones will produce a richer golden colored stock but uncooked chicken works just as well --- I freeze the cooled cooked broth in 2 or 4-cup plastic freezer containers and store in the freezer until ready to use, you may do a quick defrost in the microwave when needed --- yield depends on size of pot and how much water is used, use this broth to make the best tasting chicken soup, don't remove the skins from onions they add color and taste to the stock adding in another onion won't hurt :)
