Turkey Stock Recipe

  • To get started, preheat your oven to 400°F. Take your turkey bones and place them in a dutch oven (you can also use a roasting tray). Add chopped onions and carrots and sprinkle with salt. Roast in the oven for one hour until the bones are caramelized.
  • Next, transfer the pot to the stove and add enough water to cover the bones. Bring to a boil and let simmer for one hour. Remove the bones and strain the liquid to create your delicious turkey stock.
  • Don't toss out the bones - there's still plenty of meat left on them! Pick at the bones to remove any remaining meat and use it for sandwiches or add to instant noodles for a little extra meat. Now, your turkey stock is all ready!

Turkey Gravy Recipe

  • Place the stock (you just prepared) in the fridge and wait for the fat to rise to the top. Then scoop off the solidified fat for the next step.
  • Now, add the butter to a pot. Next, add flour and the turkey fat and whisk until smooth. Keep whisking by adding in the turkey stock constantly until it thickens.
  • To season, add soy sauce for color and pepper to taste. Your delicious turkey gravy is now ready to serve.
