Turkey Stock

I made this wonderful stock with the leftover roast turkey carcass from christmas. I used anything and everything, the neck of the turkey and i used the left over stuffing, some left over roast potatoes and other vegetables cooked and uncooked that i had cooked too many of, i have cooked this recipe from the basic recipe below and just added, what vegetables i had left over. Next time i will even keep the potatoe skins and cook them as well!! I was carfeul not too use, too much of one thing that may have taken over the flavour though. I have frozen the stock for using later, i am not sure what in, but the stock had that wonderful roast turkey dinner flavour !!!!

Steps

Take a very large cooking pot and break the turkey carcase into it , then add the rest of the ingredients.

Cover with water , bring up to simmering point , skim off any scum that rises to the surface , simmer for 2- 3 hours.

Set a colander over another large pan , and with tongs and a ladle , lift most of the bones and ingredients into colander.

Being very careful as liquid is hot , drain remaining stock into colander , let stock completely drain through colander and when drained discard the contents of colander , keeping the liquids in the pan.

Place liquid stock back on heat , and slowly simmer for another 10 minutes , this time strain the stock through a strainer and leave to cool , discarding debris in the strainer.

Cover , cool completely and then chill overnight.

Some fat / scum may be needed to be skimmed off next day and discarded.
