Golden Turkey Stock
A deeply flavorful homemade turkey stock made from roasted turkey wings, aromatic vegetables, and herbs. This golden stock is perfect for soups, gravies, and all your holiday cooking needs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 pounds turkey wings or parts
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, quartered
- 1 head garlic, halved
- Small bunch fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 cups cold water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Place turkey wings, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic on the baking sheet. Roast for 35–45 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer roasted ingredients to a large stock pot, including any pan drippings.
- Add thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt, and cold water to the pot. Ensure all ingredients are submerged.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Simmer uncovered for 4–5 hours, skimming foam as needed.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container. Discard solids.
- Let cool, then store in jars or containers in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Use a splash of vinegar in the pot to help extract nutrients from the bones.
- For a richer stock, simmer longer or reduce after straining.
- Stock will gel when cold — a sign of great collagen!
