So you ate the Turkey. What to do with the carcus? For those of us who like turkey soup, stock is an excellent thing to do with it, and here is how.
Ingredients:
- 1 left-over turkey carcus
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 4 stalks of celery, chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- salt
- 1 gallon of water to cover
Directions:
Using a sharp knife, cut the carcus into smaller pieces. In a large pot, add the carcus, vegetables, bay leaves, thyme, and peppercorns. Season with salt. Cover with water. Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 2 hours. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface. Remove from the heat and strain
