Turkey Stock...

Don't throw away the turkey carcass!!! One of the best things in the world is home-made turkey stock...

1 large turkey carcass
2 large onions, rough-chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and rough-chopped
3 large stalks celery, rough-chopped
3 bay leaves
15 cracked peppercorns
6 cloves garlic, cracked
6 fresh parsley fronds and stems
1 4" length of fresh rosemary

Take a LARGE stock-pot or, if you have one, the jam cooker.

Place all ingredients into pot

Fill just to top off ingredients with COLD water.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer

Let simmer at least 8 hours.

Cool and strain into containers.

Use now, or freeze for use later. GREAT for cooking rice, potatoes, veggies, bases for soups, stews and gravies... practically ANYTHING

***Tip: Did you know that freezing stock into ice cubes can make measuring easy? 4-6 ice cubes equals 1 cup! Just freeze the stock into trays, then dump into ziplock bags for easy measuring.
