Rich Turkey Broth or Stock
1 – 3 lbs turkey parts (I use backs, wings, giblets or
leftover carcass from baked turkey (including skin, and any
drippings or gravy)
To pot add: meat and
bones, at least one onion – sliced in half (leave skin on – it adds flavor and
color), the equivalent of one or two stalks of celery (leaves give off the most
flavor), one or two carrots, black pepper. Also add any leftover gravy to
the stock.
Cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer all day (or at least 4 hours) or leave in crock pot all
night. Add more water if necessary.
Strain broth into a large bowl, then cool and
refrigerate. Allow meat and vegetables
to cool, then remove meat from bones and store in another
container. Discard onion, celery, and
bones. After about 12 hours in the
refrigerator, the broth will be congealed; fat will be hardened and can be
easily skimmed from the top and discarded.
It is now ready for use in your favorite recipes.
Do not add salt during the preparation of the stock – this
should be done to taste during the final preparation of the soup.
Cynthia...I am truly enjoying your blog and recipes; forwarded your address to two long time friends who for very different reasons are living today with new and very restrictive diets. They both were thrilled with your recipes and sent smiling notes to me.
