Homemade Turkey Stock

This homemade turkey stock is a fundamental building block for any kitchen, offering a depth of flavour that shop-bought alternatives simply cannot match. By roasting the turkey wings until they are deeply caramelised, you create a rich, golden base that is perfect for nourishing soups, stews, or a classic Sunday roast gravy. The addition of fresh parsley, thyme, and aromatic peppercorns ensures a fragrant finish that enhances any savoury dish without the need for excessive salt.

As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this stock is naturally low in sugar and can be easily defatted for a leaner profile. It is a fantastic way to practice batch cooking, as it freezes beautifully for up to six months. Whether you are preparing for a festive gathering or simply want a healthy, homemade staple in the freezer, this traditional simmered stock provides a wholesome and versatile foundation for your favourite recipes.

Ingredients for Homemade Turkey Stock

  • 1.4kg turkey wings (about 3 large wings)

  • 2 cucchiai di olio vegetale

  • 1 medium onion, chopped (about 300g )

  • 1 medium carrot, chopped (about 1/2 cup)

  • 1 medium stalk celery with leaves, chopped (about 1/2 cup)

  • 6 sprigs fresh parsley

  • 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled

  • 1/4 teaspoons whole black peppercorns

  • 1 dried bay leaf

  • large flameproof roasting pan

Position rack in top third of oven and preheat to 232°C.

Using heavy cleaver, chop wings into 2-inch pieces. (See Test-Kitchen Tips, below.) Spread wings in roasting pan and roast, turning with tongs after 20 minutes, until deeply browned, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, in 6-quart stock pot over moderate heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add wings and any pan juices and reduce heat to low.

Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners on high heat and cook until browned bits are sizzling, about 1 minute. Add 475ml cold water and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits with flat wooden spatula or spoon. Pour liquid into pot and add enough cold water to cover ingredients by 1 inch, about 3350ml .

Raise heat to high and bring to boil, skimming foam from surface. Add parsley, thyme, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, 3 hours, adding water as needed to keep wings covered.

Pour stock through fine-mesh sieve into large bowl, discarding solids. If using immediately, let stand until yellow fat rises to surface, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and discard fat. If not using immediately, place bowl in larger bowl of iced water. Let stand, changing ice water as it warms, until stock is tepid, at least 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, then scrape off and discard fat. (Stock can be made ahead and refrigerated in airtight container up to 2 days or frozen up to 6 months. Reheat in saucepan over low heat before using for stuffing and turkey.)
