Instructions
Break your turkey carcass into pieces if you can. As brutal as it sounds, if you can cut or break bones to expose the marrow, even better.
Place the turkey carcass and all of the remaining ingredients in your large soup pot or electric roaster.
Pour in enough water to cover the carcass, about 2 gallons.
Stove Method: If cooking in a soup pot, bring it to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Simmer very low for at least 6 hours, up to 24 hours.
NOTE: I make this in an electric roaster
, that way the stove isn't on when we are sleeping. I let this cook at 300° for 24 hours.
Once the stock has finished cooking, strain the liquid through a fine sieve or cheese cloth. Discard the solids.
Refrigerate the stock overnight.
Carefully scoop the solidified fat from the top of the stock and discard.
Prepare your pressure canning supplies and heat your stock to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
Pressure can the turkey stock using basic pressure canning practices.
Processing time for quart jars is 25 minutes, pint jar time is 20 minutes.
Use your turkey stock any way you like!
Turkey stock can also be frozen if you don't want to can it.
