For an even deeper flavor, roast the turkey carcass bones in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 30 minutes before adding them to the stockpot. Feel free to add other vegetables to the stock, such as parsnips, leeks, or mushrooms. If you don't have chicken bouillon cubes, you can substitute with chicken broth or stock. The strained stock can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Use this stock as a base for soups, stews, sauces, gravies, or to cook grains like rice or quinoa.

01
StepIn a large stockpot, combine the turkey carcass, onions, carrots, celery, green bell pepper, garlic, chicken bouillon cubes, peppercorns, and bay leaves. (5 minutes)

StepSimmer gently, uncovered, for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours for a richer flavor. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first hour of simmering. (4 hours)
04
StepRemove the stockpot from the heat and let sit for 15 minutes to allow any remaining sediment to settle. (15 minutes)
05
StepCarefully strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth. Discard the solids. (10 minutes)
06
StepAllow the stock to cool completely before refrigerating. Once cooled, skim off any solidified fat from the surface. (30 minutes cooling)
