Food Tips: Recipe to make a turkey stock out of leftovers
Posted: 11/23/2012
Don't toss out the remnants of your turkey!
Go the extra mile and turn it into an amazingly delicious stock. A large pot, some water and vegetable scraps (you've definitely got those around) and you're set. Let it simmer away while the family settles into a cozy food coma.
BASIC TURKEY STOCK
Makes 2 quarts
1 roasted turkey carcass (from a 10-pound turkey)
2 pounds raw vegetable scraps (carrots, celery, onions, leeks and garlic recommended)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
Water
Combine ingredients in a large stockpot and add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a slow boil, reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 2 to 3 hours. Strain and transfer to quart containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
