2 pounds Turkey
Carcasses or Necks
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 Onions, peeled and cut into large dice
1 Carrot, peeled and cut into large dice
2 Celery Ribs, cut into large dice
3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
3 sprigs Fresh Parsley
1 small Bay Leaf
1 teaspoon Black Peppercorns
2 quarts Chicken Stock
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Break apart turkey carcasses with a cleaver
and evenly lay them out on a sheet pan.
Roast the turkey bones for 10-15 minutes or until they turn golden
brown.
Bring a large sauce pot to medium heat and add oil. Add onions, carrots, and celery and saute for
5 minutes or until onions are transparent.
Add the roasted turkey carcasses, thyme, parsley, bay leaf, peppercorns,
and chicken stock to cover.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer about 1 hour,
skimming surface fat as necessary.
Remove pan from heat. Place a
strainer in an empty container to hold a large amount of liquid. Pour stock into strainer and strain.
