I rarely ever make the stock & soup the same weekend for some reason.
After I cook the bones down until the meat falls off I strain it into a
bowl,
pick all the meat off the bones & add to the broth. I end up freezing it &
when I ready I take all the fat off the top, cook with carrots, onions,
celery & seasonings. I freeze extras in meal size containers & just cook
noodles or rice to add in when we want turkey soup. We used up the last
of 2007 turkey soup just a month or so ago & it was as good as the day
I made it.

Noodle soup with wide, floppy noodles. :-)

Use it any place you'd use chicken stock. Cooking rice, making gravy, etc.
Put some in the freezer if you have a lot.

I especially like green beans cooked in stock. I cook my rice in stock
instead of water, it sure makes a difference. A little stock added to
mashed potatoes instead of milk is nice also.

The stock I have from my turkey is sitting in the fridge. I'll skim
the fat off and freeze the stock in plastic freezer bags in one cup
increments, that way I will have some good home made stock on hand.

Frozen stock always seems bland or other wise taste impaired to me,
which is why i prefer to reduce as much as is possible and use the
resulting concentrate that keeps well and long if kept air tight, rather
than freeze a stock.

Stock makes a wonderful base/liquid making for Rice.

The rice will absorb all the flavor.

Freeze it and use it as the basis for your next turkey gravey. That changes
the whole dish and brings it to a new level. I also use it to make stuffing,
with the turkey liver and porcini mushrooms.

I made it following somebody's recipe last year, and somebody else was
right--no matter how long you cook it, or what you put in it, it has a
dishwater quality that chicken stock does not. I won't make it again.

Turkey stock is almost as good as chicken stock. Who's recipe did
you follow?

Wow, just tagging on, as I didn't see the post that was quoted.

My turkey stock is very rich...and full of flavor.

One way to do it, from Michael Ruhlman:
http://blog.ruhlman.com/ruhlmancom/2...giving-th.html

Another way, from his blog:
"Roast a couple pounds of turkey wings, and any other inexpensive
parts you may be able to gather, until they are golden brown and good
enough to eat. Cover them with water and cook below a simmer for 6
hours or so uncovered or in a 180-200 degree oven. For the last hour
or two, add a large onion, 2 big carrots, two bay leaves, some
peppercorns, thyme and parsley (if you have it on hand), and a couple
tablespoons of tomato paste. Strain it through cloth and it's done."

Jay's still mad because I turned him down.

For those of you Not in The Know, 'Jay' was passionate towards me
one night at an austin.food get-together at Iron Works. I turned
him down gracefully and thanked him for the compliment. But he
still harbors this grudge for some reason.

That's why he's spouting cock, I guess.

Damn, Gurl! This qualifies for the Book of Sauk (2008 ed.)!

I usually use the whole carcass, especially the leg bones, wing tips,
and pope's nose. Simmered for 2 hours with onion, garlic, and
ginger. Use the resulting ambrosia anywhere that I would use chicken
or vegetable stock.

Great stuff to have around.

Rice.

I never cook rice with water. Only stock.
It's good that way. ;-d

I had to have a pasta fix the other day so made some mac and cheese. I
cooked the noodles in stock instead of water.
It was really good. ;-d

Well, gravy is the first thing that comes to my mind, but I have gravy on
the brain the last couple days! lol
Soup is good, turkey pot pie is wonderful. You can use it in place of
chicken stock in recipes calling for such. Use it as an au jus when you make
your sandwiches!
