Ingredients

  • Turkey carcass
  • 2 large carrots cut into 3” pieces
  • 2 celery stalks cut into 3” pieces
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 yellow onion quartered
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme minced
  • 4 garlic cloves crushed
  • 6-8 cups of water

Instructions

  • Place all of the ingredients into the slow cooker, you may have to break the carcass to get it to fit. 
  • Pour enough water into the slow cooker to mostly cover all the ingredients.
  • Set the cooker on low for 10-12 hours, I usually leave it overnight. 
  • Place a large metal bowl in your sink, place a large colander over the bowl. 
  • Carefully pour the stock from the stock pot into the colander, the stock should strain through the holds into the metal bowl. Remove the colander and let the stock cool before storing it or use immediately. Pick all the extra turkey meat off the carcass in the strainer and use as you like!
