It smells like turkey in here

I had the carcus boiling in the stove most of the day. Now I have this wonderful, rich stock waiting to be made into soup. I can never just throw away turkey or chicken bones.

That sounds amazing! What will you make with the stock? Soup? Risotto? Stew?

Some of it is for more cornbread stuffing and the rest will probably become soup.  For now it will just go in the freezer.

What do you put in your stuffing?
This year we did sausage, apples, mushrooms, celery, bell peppers, onion, craisins and raisins. It was yummy.

The one I made yesterday had scratch made cornbread, celery, onions, chicken stock, cream and sage. Simple but pretty damn good.

Don't taunt me. I forgot the tupperware of turkey and stuffing at my parents' house.

My MIL threw away our 22 lb turkey carcus. I was finally going to attempt my own stock.

That sucks!

making stock is really easy, it just takes all day. 

Put the bones in your biggest pot.  Cut the stem off an onion.  Quarter it and throw it in, skin and all.  Rinse 2-3 carrots.  Cut them in thirds and throw them in. Wash and cut up celery. I use the middle leafy parts and the bottoms. Add 10 whole peppercorns. Fill the pot with water and gently boil for about 6 hours.  Strain it and put it in the fridge overnight. Skim off the fat and it's ready to use.
