How To Make roasted turkey stock
-
1Preheat oven to 425. Pick the meat from the bones and break the carcass apart. Place the picked over carcass into a deep roasting pan being careful not to over crowd. Place in oven and cook for 1 - 2 hours or until golden brown. If there is any grease in the roasting pan discard that before proceeding.
-
2Cut the onion in half and place in the bottom of a large pot or dutch oven. Scrub the carrot and celery then cut in them in half and add to the onion. If you are adding salt, pepper or herbs to your stock now is the time to add them. Remove roasted material from the roasting pan and place on top of the vegies. Add enough water to just barely cover the contents of the pot.
-
3Take 1/2 cup of water, broth or wine and put into the roasting pan. De-glaze the roasting pan then transfer that liquid and those tasty bits into the large pot. Bring to a boil then drop the heat to a low simmer. Cover and simmer for 3-4 hours. Remove lid and simmer for another hour then remove from heat. Remove the bones and vegies from the stock and discard. Allow the stock to cool slightly then pour it through a fine mesh strainer to remove any particles.
-
4Use your stock for a delicious soup base or a wonderful start to some very tasty gravy. Freeze in small quantities - you can even freeze some in ice cube form for those times when you only need a little.
