Turkey Stock

By spudnick

Ingredients

• Turkey neck and giblets
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 large celery rib with leaves, chopped
• 1 large unpeeled carrot, scrubbed and chopped
• 3 sprigs of parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350. Put the neck and giblets and the onion in a small roasting or flameproof baking pan and roast for 1 hour, turning, until browned all over. Transfer the browned ingredients to a medium saucepan.

Place the roasting pan over high heat. When the pan drippings start to sizzle pour in 1 cup of water and boil, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour this liquid into the saucepan and add the celery, carrot, parsley and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Strain, let cool, then cover and refrigerate. (The stock can be made up to a day in advance. If you buy a turkey neck and giblets separately, you can make the stock weeks or even months, ahead and freeze it.)
