Turkey Giblet Stock

Ingredients

  • 1 Celery Rib, coarsely chopped
  • 1 Onion, quartered
  • 6 Cups Water
  • 1 Teaspoon Black Peppercorns
  • 2 Sprigs Fresh Sage
  • 2 Sprigs Fresh Parsley
  • 1 Carrot, coarsely chopped
  • 5 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 2 Sprigs Fresh Rosemary
  • Neck and Giblets From a 12 to 14 Pound Turkey [do not use the liver]

Instructions

In a large deep sauce pan bring the broth and water to a boil. Add the spices, neck and giblets. When the mixture begins to froth, skim the froth from the top and discard. Add the vegetables and cook uncovered at a bare simmer for 2 hours or until liquid is reduced to 6 cups. Pour stock through a fine sieve into a bowl. Typically you cook the stock early in the day, while you prepare the turkey for the oven.
