STOCK is SO easy to make. I think that you probably can't screw it up unless you might salt it too much. I use chicken carcuses and in this case turkey carcus and wings. And what a difference homemade stock makes. Once you have it around, the canned broth seems like water. I was so sad I lost my homemade stock because we lost power in hurricane Sandy! To me it's like liquid gold. It's not even the money savings, it's also the fact that you can have so much available and at such a high quality. The only problem is room for it in the frig. As soon as we eat poultry, I throw the bones and any other leftover parts we don't eat in the freezer. Then on some cold afternoon that I know I'm going to be home for hours I put it on the stove. The concepts are all the same from every chef. My next attempt is seafood stock using shrimp shells and some lobster shells. It seems to me that using the carcuses and leftovers is a better use of materials than cooking whole birds and then tossing them.

I have always wanted to make turkey bone stock and have never taken the time to do it. I bought plenty of carrots and celery and had the spices needed so I made the turkey bone stock yesterday and today. Our home smells AMAZING! I'm so glad I did this. Thanks for the recipe.

Great recipe and SO easy! I made stock last year and this recipe was just SO easy, PLUS, our apartment smelled great while it was cooking. I highly recommend this recipe and I look forward to the yummy recipes to use with the stock. Thanks Emeril!
