1 Cooked/Picked Turkey
4 Cloves of Garlic, Crushed
4 Carrots in Chunks
3 Celery Stalks in Chunks
2 Onion in Chunks
2 Bay Leaves
4 Sprigs of Thyme
Water
Method:
1. Place the turkey bones, garlic, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, and thyme in a large stock pot. If the turkey doesn't fit completely into the pot immediately, no worries. It will when it cooks down.
2. Fill the pot to within 2 inches from the top with water.
3. Simmer on medium-low for at least 2 hours. The length of time is subjective here. I simmer mine several hours until the stock reduces to about 1/2 the original volume. I also take the time to skim off any impurities that comes to the top while it is simmering.

Strained Broth Cooling |
Don't throw out those turkey bones! It is sooo easy to make home made turkey broth. You can add many variations of spices, limited only by your preference and taste. I make mine very basic, so that when I decide to make a soup later, it leaves my options open. And, an added bonus is how wonderful the house smells while this is cooking and for hours afterwards!
Have a great day!

Great way to use as much of the turkey as possible. And nothing is better than homemade broth!

ReplyDeleteYou know, I've never tried freezing turkey stock, but definitely going to have to give it a try next month. Thanks for sharing :)
