Food & Cooking Recipes Soups, Stews & Stocks Soup Recipes Homemade Turkey Stock 3.5 (54) Close Yield: 5 cups Use the neck and giblets of the turkey for a richly flavorful stock. Directions Rinse neck and giblets well. Combine all ingredients and 7 cups water in a medium stockpot. Place over high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer stock 1 1/2 hours, skimming off foam that floats to the top as needed. Pass the stock through a cheesecloth-lined sieve; discard the solids. Let stock cool, and refrigerate until ready to use. Cook's Notes Make this stock the day before you cook the turkey; remove the neck and giblets, and return the bird to the refrigerator. If the liver has a small green sac (the gallbladder) attached, remove it completely.
