Poultry Stock (Chicken Stock, Turkey Stock, etc.)
Poultry stock is incredibly easy, it just takes some time. I don’t season my stock because I treat it as an ingredient, and will be seasoning whatever dish it’s going into.
Ingredients:
- Chicken and/or turkey bones and meat scraps.
- 4-5 Carrots cut in large pieces
- 4-5 Stalks Celery cut in large pieces
- 1 Onion, outer peel removed and cut into quarters
- 1 head garlic, sliced in half.
- Black Peppercorns (maybe 1 TBSP or so.)
- Water to cover.
Combine the chicken parts and vegetables in a stock pot. Add enough water to cover and simmer for 8+ hours.
Strain off the stock, discard all the solid parts, refridgerate stock overnight and remove the fat layer that will solidify on top.
Use the stock in all kinds of soups.
