Turkey Bone Stock Recipes

EASY TURKEY STOCK

Steps:

• In a 3-gallon stockpot, combine all ingredients and fill with enough cold water to cover ingredients by 3 inches when submerged (about 6 quarts).
• Bring to a rapid simmer over high (do not boil); reduce heat until bubbles barely break the surface. Simmer until flavorful, about 2 hours, skimming stock with a ladle every 30 minutes.
• Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve. Discard vegetables. Remove meat from bones and save for another use; discard bones. Let stock cool completely before refrigerating. (To store, refrigerate, up to 1 week, or freeze, up to 6 months.)

TURKEY BONE BROTH RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the turkey carcass and giblets in a large stockpot. Add the onion, garlic, parsley, orange peel, and bay leaves, and cover with cold water.
• Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 8-10 hours.
• Discard the solids and strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large container. Ladle the broth into mason jars. Once it's cool, you'll be able to remove the fat on the surface easily with a spoon. Enjoy and refrigerate or freeze the leftovers for later.

TURKEY CARCASS SOUP

Steps:

• Place the turkey carcass into a large soup pot or stock pot and pour in the water; bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the turkey frame until the remaining meat falls off the bones, about 1 hour. Remove the turkey carcass and remove and chop any remaining turkey meat. Chop the meat.
• Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer into a clean soup pot. Add the chopped turkey to the strained broth; bring the to a boil, reduce heat, and stir in the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, cabbage, tomatoes, barley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, parsley, basil, bay leaf, black pepper, paprika, poultry seasoning, and thyme. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 1 more hour. Remove bay leaf before serving.

HOMEMADE TURKEY STOCK

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a stockpot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 1-1/2 hours., Discard turkey carcass. Cool broth 1 hour. Strain through a cheesecloth-lined colander; discard vegetables and herbs. If using immediately, skim fat from broth; or refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, then remove fat from surface. Broth can be frozen up to 2-3 months.

ROASTED TURKEY STOCK

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Using a sturdy knife or your hands, cut or tear turkey carcass into large pieces. Arrange in a single layer in a roasting pan and roast until brown and sizzling, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove from oven and transfer pieces to a stockpot.
• Add onions, carrots and celery to the empty roasting pan and place over medium heat. Sauté briefly, just to loosen the crusty turkey bits from bottom of pan.
• Return pan to oven and cook until vegetables are browned around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and place it over medium heat. Add white wine and cook, stirring, until wine is reduced to a syrup, about 3 minutes.
• Add wine-vegetable mixture to stockpot. Add garlic, thyme, bay leaves, black peppercorns and chile. Add 6 quarts water and place over medium-high heat just until mixture comes to a boil.
• Immediately reduce heat to low, skim any foam floating on top and simmer, skimming as needed, for 3 hours. Add 1 teaspoon salt and taste. If stock tastes watery, keep simmering until stock is flavorful. Taste for salt again and add more if needed.
• Strain stock through a sieve into a large container or containers. Discard solids. Let stock cool slightly, then refrigerate. Skim off any fat from the top of the stock. Use within 4 days or freeze.

DARK TURKEY STOCK

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place bones, meat and chopped or broken-up carcass in a large roasting pan, and place in the oven. Roast, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until nicely browned. Don't worry if the meat sticks to the bottom of the pan.
• Add chopped vegetables, and roast for about 30 minutes more, stirring once or twice.
• Remove roasting pan to stove top, and place it over one or two burners, whichever is more convenient. Turn heat to high, and barely cover the bones with water, about 8 to 10 cups (it's fine if some of the bones poke up out of the water). When water boils, turn heat down so that the liquid simmers.
• Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan to loosen any bits of meat, for about 30 minutes. Cool, then strain. Refrigerate, and skim off excess fat. Then, store for up to 3 days in the refrigerator (longer if you bring the stock to a boil every second day), or up to several months in the freezer.

TURKEY BONE BROTH

Steps:

• Place the turkey carcass and giblets in a large stockpot. Add the onion, garlic, parsley, orange peel, and bay leaves, and cover with cold water.
• Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 8-10 hours (can use slow cooker for the long simmer on low).
• Discard the solids and strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large container. Ladle the broth into mason jars. Once it's cool, you'll be able to remove the fat on the surface easily with a spoon. Enjoy and refrigerate or freeze the leftovers for later.
• (I use recipe to derive broth then add vegetables and/or meat to make a wholesome soup/stew).

TURKEY STOCK

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into a large stock pot or your biggest saucepan, and top up with 2 litres water. Add more water to cover all the ingredients if needed.
• Bring to a simmer over a high heat, skimming off any foam that appears on top of the liquid with a spoon. Reduce to a medium heat, then simmer, half covered, for 3 hrs - the stock will have reduced and concentrated its flavours. Or, if you prefer a lighter stock, cover fully while simmering.
• Turn off the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes, then carefully strain into a container or bowl to cool completely. Will keep in the fridge for a week and for three months in the freezer.

TURKEY STOCK

Steps:

• Combine turkey carcass, onions, carrots, celery, green bell pepper, garlic, chicken bouillon cubes, peppercorns, and bay leaves in a stockpot; pour in enough water to cover. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors blend, about 1 hour. Remove stockpot from heat and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain stock through a cheese cloth and discard solids.

TURKEY BONE BROTH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Remove the breasts, thighs, and wings from the turkey carcass. Spread the turkey parts out in an even layer on a large baking sheet, along with the neck and any innards that came with the turkey. Dust everything with sea salt and place in the preheated oven. Roast until golden brown, about 40 minutes.
• Transfer everything from the baking sheet to a large stockpot or slow cooker. Cover with the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium. Skim off the fat and scum that rises to the top and discard; this process takes about 1 hour. Add vinegar, peppercorns, thyme, and rosemary.
• Continue to simmer for 8 hours, adding water as necessary just to keep the bones covered. Add vegetables in the last 5 hours of cooking.
• Gently strain or ladle the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a container. Fill your sink with ice water. Place the container of broth in the ice bath to cool for 1 hour. Use the broth right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 year.

TURKEY STOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F with rack in lowest position.
• If using turkey wings, halve at joints with a cleaver or large knife, then crack wing bones in several places with back of cleaver or knife. (Do not crack bones if using other parts.) Pat turkey dry. Roast turkey parts, skin sides down, in dry roasting pan, turning once, until browned well, about 1 hour. Transfer to an 8-quart stockpot using tongs, reserving fat in roasting pan.
• Add onions, celery, and carrots to fat in pan and roast, stirring halfway through roasting, until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Add vegetables to turkey in stockpot.
• Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add 2 cups water and deglaze by boiling, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Add deglazing liquid to turkey and vegetables in stockpot, then add remaining 3 1/2 quarts water along with remaining ingredients and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and gently simmer, uncovered, 3 hours.
• Strain stock through a large fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. (You will have about 10 cups stock.) If using immediately, let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and discard fat. If not, chill, uncovered, until cool, then covered, before skimming fat (it will be easier to remove when cool or cold).
