Thanksgiving leftovers, turkey stock

Nothing makes better stock than a Thanksgiving turkey!  Even if you don’t use the stock right away, it’s always beneficial to make it and toss it in the freezer for a snowy winter day when you’ve been busy Christmas shopping.  It’s wonderful to pull out some leftover shredded turkey, a jar of stock, make a quick batch of homemade noodles and have a rich homey meal with virtually no work!DSC_1236

Scraps to Stock

celery, chicken stock, turkey stock

There’s nothing I hate more than wasting a bunch of perfectly good veggies on stock.  What’s even worse is opening the fridge and seeing that I have no celery and have to go buy some just to throw in with a chicken carcass!  So, I usually save my scraps of celery, carrots and onion when I’m cooking for chicken or turkey stock in the future.  I do it a couple ways.  The first way is to dry my celery tops.  My mom used to do it when I was a kid by using a needle and thread and threading the hunks of celery leaves to hang dry.  But I’m lazy.  Ummm…I mean busy!  So I just throw them on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and toss them around with my fingers every day to make sure they all get dried.  Then I store them in a mason jar and when I need to make stock, I just pull it from there.
