Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 ribs celery, chopped

  • 2 carrot, chopped

  • 1 onion, quartered

  • 1 head garlic, halved lengthwise

  • 2 pounds leftover turkey carcass, or as needed

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 4 teaspoons salt

  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns

  • 1 sprig rosemary

  • 1 teaspoon ground sage

  • 4 quarts water, or as needed

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook and stir celery, carrot, onion, and garlic in hot oil until slightly softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add turkey carcass, bay leaves, salt, peppercorns, rosemary, and dried sage. Cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes more.

  2. Pour in enough water to cover turkey and vegetables. Bring to a boil, cover the pot, and reduce heat to low. Simmer, skimming fat occasionally, until flavors are blended, 4 to 5 hours. Strain stock into a container and discard carcass and vegetables.
