Homemade Chicken (or Turkey) Stock
Description
This Homemade Chicken or Turkey Stock recipe involves simmering a leftover chicken carcass along with aromatic vegetables like onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, enhanced by fresh herbs including thyme, parsley, and bay leaves. Black peppercorns and kosher salt season the broth subtly. Simmering over gentle heat for about 1½ hours ensures that flavors from the bones, vegetables, and herbs are extracted without clouding the liquid.
The final stock is strained for clarity and can be stored refrigerated or frozen for future use. It provides a clean, savory liquid with a balanced vegetable sweetness, ideal for making soups, risottos, or enriching sauces. The method respects the value of leftover poultry parts, turning them into a versatile ingredient for many recipes.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken carcass from leftover roast chicken or turkey or rotisserie chicken
- 1 onion quartered, medium
- 2 carrot cut into large pieces
- 2 celery cut into large pieces, stalks
- 1 garlic unpeeled and cut in half crosswise, head
- 4 thyme sprigs, fresh
- 10 parsley with stems
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a large heavy-bottomed pot or stockpot. Pour in enough cold water to just cover the chicken. Bring the liquid to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer gently for about 1 ½ hours, covered.
- Strain the stock through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate. The next day, remove the surface fat. Store the stock in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for 3 months.
