1 carcass of smoked turkey, whole or breast
2 large carrots
1 large onion, halved
2 cloves garlic, left whole
2 tablespoons salt
1 parsnip (optional)
1 sprig fresh herbs (dill, sage, etc.)
8 black peppercorns
1 large bay leaf
1 cup white wine
4 quarts cold water
Recipe
Place carcass in large stock pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, allowing fat to rise and foam. Skim off as much fat as you can. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer covered at least two hours and up to four hours until sock has reduced and has a rich flavor. Remove solids and strain into a container. Allow this to cool and then place in the fridge. Remove all remaining fat before using.
Serving Suggestions: I like to turn this stock into a great soup by using any leftover turkey and vegetables. I even put in left over potato, sweet or baking.
