Roast Turkey Stock
- 1 turkey carcass
- 1 onion large, halved with the skin on
- 1 clove garlic skin on
- 2 carrots unpeeled and roughly chopped
- 1 stalk celery roughly chopped and with the leaves
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 handful flat leaf parsley
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 pinch kosher salt or to taste
- Remove the bulk of the meat from the carcass and set aside - though some remaining meat left on is great as it will get nice and roasted.
- Place in a 400-450 degree F oven for about an hour. The bones will get nice and browned and any skin will get crispy.
- After roasting, cut the carcass into large chunks (e.g. quarters) and place the carcass in an 8 quart stockpot with enough water to cover.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer.
- Skim off the foam that forms on the top. Once the foam turns white you no longer need to skim.
- Toss in the remaining ingredients
- Partially cover and reduce heat until it is barely simmering. Simmer for 3-4 hours, adding more water if necessary to keep the bones just covered. Take care to not over dilute your stock too much.
- Strain stock into a large container and freeze or start making your delicious turkey soup
