Ingredients
Preparation
NotesIngredients
- Carcass and leftover meat from a roasted turkey, chopped into sections Add to list
- 2 quarts water or organic chicken broth Add to list
- 1 small onion, chopped, skin left on Add to list
- 1 stalk celery, chopped Add to list
- 1 carrot, chopped Add to list
- 1 to 2 sprigs fresh parsley Add to list
- 1 to 2 sprigs fresh sage Add to list
- 1 to 2 sprigs fresh rosemary Add to list
- 1 to 2 sprigs fresh thyme Add to list
- 2 bay leaves Add to list
- Salt and pepper to taste Add to list
Preparation
Place the turkey carcass in a large soup pot and add the water or broth. Add the onions, celery, carrots and herbs. Bring the pot to a simmer, skimming any foam that rises to the surface and cook for 1 hour.
Strain the stock, pressing hard on the meat and vegetables to squeeze out the juices. Season the stock with salt and pepper.
Notes
I like to use fresh herbs in my stock. If you prefer to use dried herbs, which are perfectly fine, use the following increments: 1 tablespoon each dried sage, rosemary and thyme plus 2 sprigs fresh parsley.
