Ingredients:
1 turkey carcass, chopped into large pieces2 medium carrots (do not peel), cut into 2-inch chunks 1 large yellow onion (do not peel), cut in half 1 large rib celery, with leaves, cut into 2-inch chunks 1 teaspoon black peppercorns 1 bay leaf 6 sprigs fresh parsley
Directions:
Put the chopped turkey carcass in an 8-quart stockpot, and add cold water to cover, leaving 2 inches of space at the top of the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then reduce the heat so that the liquid simmers steadily. Using a large spoon or soup skimmer, skim off the brown foam that rises to the top. After 5 minutes or so, the foam will become white, and no more skimming will be necessary.Add all the remaining ingredients. Partially cover the pot and adjust the heat so that the stock barely simmers. Cook the stock for at least 2 but preferably 4 hours, adding water, if necessary, to keep the bones covered. Makes 4 - 5 Quarts
While some may head for the mall to tackle their Christmas lists, honestly, I'm happier lounging with the newspaper, watching the stock simmer.
