INSTRUCTIONS
seed; or stalks 2 Bay leaves 2 tb Parsley 1 tb Sage leaves 2 tb
Oregano leaves 1 tb Rosemary leaves 2 Cloves, whole Water Cram as much
of turkey carcass & leavings as will fit into crockpot. (I usually
only manage to get about 1/2 of a carcass in.) Use all the leavings,
including skin, even if you plan on defatting the stock. Add remaining
ingredients and cover with water to within an inch or so of the top.
Cover crockpot and cook on low at least 2-3 DAYS (not a tyop!). Defat,
strain out solids, package in pints or quarts, and freeze until
needed. Sylvia's comments: This recipe, that I developed, is the
easiest I've ever seen, and it produces the richest, most flavorful
stock. If it's inconvenient to let it cool and package it after 3
days, let it cook another day or so until it is convenient. You can't
overcook it (at least I haven't managed to), the longer it cooks the
richer it gets. I do check it every day or so to see if I need to add
water, but I rarely have to. Don't flinch at the cloves, they don't
add a clove-y flavor but they do add a nice hint of something. Since
the stock is unsalted, it is great for anyone trying to restrict
sodium intake. And it tastes so good that I try to snag turkey or
chicken carcasses whenever I can. Let others take home the meat and
stuffing, I want the carcass! <g> I also make stock from the bones of
the whole KFC Rotisserie Gold chicken we buy occasionally. From
