Ashley Fehr from @thereciperebel created this easy turkey stock recipe. Turkey stock has richer flavour than other stocks. You can use turkey stock for more than just soup. It is the perfect base for risotto or quinoa. You can use it as a braising liquid for turkey. It is a delicious base for vegetable dishes and pastas. The uses and recipe possibilities are endless. It also means that if you buy a whole turkey, none of it has to go to waste. If you don’t have a full turkey carcass, local butchers often sell packages of turkey bones that you can use for broth.
Serves: 6
Prep time: 5 minutes
