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."

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!
