Easy Turkey Stock
When making a complete turkey dinner, one of the most important pieces to the puzzle is the turkey stock. Any excess turkey fat, skin or parts, such as wing tips, bones, or the neck out of the giblets bag, should be used. Once it's done simmering, you strain out all the veggies and bits, and end up with richly turkey flavored broth, without having to spend any extra money on pre-packaged broth. You can use the strained out bits too! any meat can be pulled easily off the bones and chopped and added to the stuffing. you can also sort out the veggies and use them in turkey leftover soup.
