I hate wasting any thing

I want to use up every bit of my turkey from Thanksgiving day, so after it cooled down to were I could get all the meat off.  The carcass went into a pot and then 8 quarts of water, a onion, a little salt, pepper, a sprig of fresh Rosemary and a good shake of Mrs. Dash seasoning. and then brought up to a boil, cut down to a slow simmer. And will be cooked that way for up to 4 hours. Then strained and put into in fridge over night. Then tomorrow evening I will remove the fat that has come to the top. Then it will ether be ether put into the freezer or I will can it.  It will be good to use in many rice dishes & soups threw the winter here.  I love making my own stocks. Here is a couple photos of my stock cooking.

   I will post again after I have got it all done, and hope you will try making your own stock.  It taste way better then that stuff we get in the stores.    I thought I would, Join Rhonda from Down To Earth with her regular Friday On My Mind Feature.

  3. Thanks ladies, I am having fun learning how to make different broths we use that I now don't have to buy. And are so much better for us. Some of this is going to be used in making turkey noodle soup tonight.

  4. I like making my own stocks too. I just recently made shrimp stock. It's good for using in seafood recipes and soups.
