Classic Turkey Stock
- Neck and giblets (excluding liver) from a turkey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 10 cups water
- 1 celery rib, sliced
- 1 carrot, sliced
- Greens from 1 leek (optional), coarsely chopped
- 3 parsley sprigs
- 3 thyme sprigs
- 1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
- Pat neck and giblets dry, then cut neck into pieces with a large knife.
- Heat oil in a 4-to 5-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook neck, giblets, and onion, turning occasionally, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, then simmer, partially covered, skimming any froth, 2 hours.
- Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. If more than 5 cups, boil to reduce.
