Making your own turkey stock is super easy and adds the most incredible flavor to the stuffing.

Ingredients

Turkey giblets and neck, found inside of the fresh turkey

4-6 carrots, unpeeled

1 large yellow onion, cut-up

4-6 celery stalks

1 bunch fresh sage leaves

1 bunch fresh rosemary

Salt and pepper, to taste

How to prepare the stock:

In a large stockpot add filtered water ¾ full.  Add the turkey innards, carrots, onion, celery, sage leaves, rosemary, salt and pepper.  Cook over medium heat for 3-5 hours.

This is a cooking step that our family prepares the day before Thanksgiving.  This makes a great stock for turkey soup using the leftovers from the feast.  You can also freeze this stock for a cold winter day.  Having reserved stock handy is a must and makes for a quick and easy soup!

Happy Cooking!
