About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Simmer, never boil; boiling emulsifies fat and makes stock cloudy and greasy.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Roast turkey parts and vegetables at 425°F for 50 minutes until deeply browned, adding tomato paste for the last 10 minutes.

  2. 02

    Transfer to a stockpot; deglaze the pan with water and add.

  3. 03

    Add cold water and aromatics; bring to a bare simmer and cook 3 hours, skimming.

  4. 04

    Strain, chill and lift off the fat. Freeze up to 3 months.
