- 2 turkey
- 6 chicken legs and thighs
- 1 veal knuckle bone
- 1 pound beef marrow bones
- 2 carrots, scraped
- 1 white onion, peeled
- 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 bay leaves
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
- 2 medium-size tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place the turkey wings, chicken legs, veal and beef bones in a large roasting pan.
- Slice the carrots in half lengthwise and cut the onion in half and add both to the pan.
- Roast for one hour until well browned.
- Remove the pan from the oven, deglaze with one cup of cold water and scrape meat, vegetables and liquid into a large soup pot.
- Add the black peppercorns, salt, bay leaves, thyme and tomatoes, cover with cold water and place over very low heat.
- Simmer the broth for 5 hours, skimming often.
- Strain the broth, discarding the solids, and return to the pan.
- Add the vinegars and return to low heat.
- Simmer for 2 more hours until reduced by half.
- Strain and cool.
- Store the meat glaze in ice cube trays in the freezer.
- To use the meat glaze, melt one cube and brush over chicken, pork, beef or veal while roasting, baking or grilling.
- Each cube will flavor 1 pound of meat.
