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!
