Easy Turkey Stock

I just wanted to drop in and share this easy turkey stock recipe, since it goes hand-in-hand with my simple turkey recipe from yesterday! Don’t discard your turkey carcass after Thanksgiving dinner, put it to good use and make some delicious homemade turkey stock!

Put your leftover turkey carcass to good use with this easy turkey stock! Good for up to 6 months in the freezer!There are so many uses for turkey stock and there’s really nothing better than soups, stews, and sauces made with your own homemade stock. I often substitute this easy turkey stock for chicken broth or chicken stock if I have it on-hand.

It takes on a few minutes to prepare, mainly just washing and rough chopping the veggies and then throwing it all in a large pot.  Then just let it simmer for several hours.  This easy turkey stock is good for 1 week in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer. I store mine in quart size jars, which seems to be a good size for my recipes. That’s al there is to it. Have fun with it!
