List of Ingredients
4 turkey wings (about 3 lbs.) or 3 turkey legs
2 medium onions -- peeled and quartered
1 cup water
8 cups chicken broth (canned or homeade)
3/4 cup chopped carrot
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Recipe
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Have a large roasting pan ready. Arrange wings in single layer in pan.
Scatter onions over top. Roast 1 1/4 hours or until wings are browned.
Put wings and onions into 5-6 quart pot. Add water to pan and stir to scrape up any brown bits on
bottom. Add to the pot. Add 6 cups broth (refrigerate remaining 2 cups), the carrot, and thyme. Bring to
a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 1 1/2 hours. Remove wings to a cutting board. When
cool pull off skin and meat. Discard skin and save meat for another use.
Strain broth into 3 quart saucepan, pressing vegetables to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard
veggies and skim fat off broth. Whisk flour into remaining 2 cups of broth until smooth. Bring broth in
saucepan to a boil, slowly whisk in flour mixture, boil 3-4 minutes to thicken and remove floury taste. Stir
in butter and pepper. Refrigerate up to one week or freeze up to three months.
Yield: "8 cups"
