Turkey Stock

Turkey Stock

Got leftover turkey bones from Thanksgiving or a big meal? Don’t toss them out! You can make some amazing turkey stock with them that you can freeze and use throughout the year in so many different dishes! It’s easy to make and will add so much deep flavor to any dishes you use it in, like soups, casseroles, pasta and much more! I personally love to use this in my Chicken Noodle Soup and add turkey meat instead of chicken. Find that recipe here.

What you need

Makes roughly 1 Gallon of Turkey Stock

All Turkey Bones and any leftover bits you don’t intend on eating, like skin, wings, neck, etc. from 1 turkey.
