MAKES ABOUT 1-2 PINTS

​

Ingredients

 

1 raw or cooked turkey carcasses with a little meat left on
giblets from the turkey if you have them, don't worry if you don't (neck, heart, gizzard) 
1 onion, quartered
1 leek, split in two
1 outside celery stick, roughly chopped
1 carrot, roughly chopped

6 black peppercorns
a few parsley stalks
sprig of thyme
 

Method

​

You can chop up the carcass as much as possible to help fit it into your saucepan or put it in whole. Put all the ingredients into a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil. Skim the fat off the top with a tablespoon. Simmer for at least 4 hours or leave over night. Strain and remove any remaining fat. Do not add salt. Leave to cool before storing in fridge or freezer.
