Turkey Stock from Leftovers
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 ribs celery, chopped
  • 2 carrot, chopped
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 1 head garlic, halved lengthwise
  • 2 pounds leftover turkey carcass, or as needed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 4 quarts water, or as needed
Instructions
1
Preheat the cooking vessel by heating olive oil over a moderate temperature. Sauté sliced celery, chopped carrot, diced onion, and minced garlic in the hot oil until they begin to soften and release their aroma, approximately 5 minutes. Introduce the turkey carcass, bay leaves, salt, peppercorns, rosemary sprigs, and dried sage into the pot. Allow the mixture to infuse in the oil for an additional 5 minutes, developing a rich fragrance.

Add sufficient water to submerge the turkey and vegetables. Bring the liquid to a rolling boil, cover the pot with a lid, and lower the heat to a low simmer. Let it cook slowly, occasionally removing excess fat from the surface, until the flavors have melded together harmoniously, typically 4 to 5 hours. Strain the stock into a separate container and discard the turkey carcass and vegetables.
