How's your turkey broth coming along? (mushrooms, frozen, cookers, homemade)

[steiconi]

We've always made broth after denuding the turkey carcass; all the bones, skin, scraps, leftover veggies, etc. It's so much easier now with a crockpot; I woke this morning to a deep colored, rich smelling broth. Mmmm future soup!

Do you make broth? Any special techniques?

Thank God for pressure cookers! An hour's time is plenty, and I don't have to re-smell Thanksgiving all day! I do char the bones a little first, even with a torch to make it quick. And there's a brief fall artichoke harvest here, and artichoke scraps make a great, meaty stock.

I put the carcas in slow crockpot for hours, I’m not at that stage yet.

I use a stock pot with water, carcass, celery, carrots, onion and garlic. Will make a nice turkey soup with leftover dark meat, barley and mushrooms.

The ability to make turkey stock is the main reason I get a full size turkey for Thanksgiving when it's just for me. LOL!

I put the carcass in the crock pot with onion, celery, and carrot. I woke up this morning to that heavenly scent. It's in the fridge now, and I'm about to skim the fat and portion it into bell jars and stick them in the freezer (except for one ... I'll make soup tomorrow).

Broke out my Le Crueset early today to make turkey stock from the carcass and drumstick bones.

Made the stock, then made turkey noodle soup for dinner.

(Not a fan of IP stock.)

I'm not a fan of making stocks in a crock pot. I like to skim it frequently while it simmers and it doesn't work as well when I use the crock pot. I put the carcass in the freezer on Thursday night because I knew I didn't want to make the stock today. Tomorrow I'll simmer it with onion, celery and carrots. I also saved the neck to toss in also. I didn't feel like using it for gravy.

I'll use some of it to cover the turkey leftovers and freeze it. The rest will be frozen and later used for turkey and homemade noodles. We're about carbed out here

I'm making stock tomorrow and I'll crockpot it, freeze most of it for later, but make a Greek avelegolemono soup with some for dinner, as that's the traditional post-Thanksgiving Sunday supper in my family. I think we liked soup & hash as much as the original turkey dinner.

I love avelegolemono soup. I made some a couple of weeks ago. I never thought about making it with turkey. Interesting idea.

My crockpot isn’t big enough, but I’m home all day so I’ll just simmer it on the stove for a few hours. The carcass is in the freezer for now. I’ll be turkeyed out after tomorrow, so I’ll enjoy the soup more in a few weeks.
