Equipment

  • 1 Large pot

Ingredients

  • 1 Roasted turkey carcass
  • 1 Onion Quartered
  • 4 Large carrots Peeled and chopped into 2 inch pieces
  • 4 Celery stocks Chopped into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 tsp Whole Peppercorns
  • 8 Whole cloves of garlic Smashed
  • 1/2 Oz Fresh rosemary stocks
  • 8 Bay leaves
  • 1 Bundle of fresh parsley
  • 1/2 Oz. Fresh thyme
  • 1 Tbsp. Sage
  • Water Enough to cover everything

Instructions

  • Add the leftover bones and meat to a large pot. If you still have the giblets and neck you can add as well as they would both help to add flavor to your broth.
  • Add enough water to cover bones along with the remaining ingredients. Gently mix all the ingredients in so everything is soaking in the water.
  • Bring the water to a boil on medium high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 2-4 hours (the longer the better).
  • Once the broth is cool enough to work with, remove larger bones and vegetable pieces with a wire strainer or tongs. Then strain the rest of broth into a large bowl (you may need a couple bowls depending on how large your turkey).
  • Once the broth has cooled completely, skim any fat that may have settled on the top of the broth. The broth will last in the fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to six months.
