Ingredients
  • 1 turkey carcass and bones, including skin, giblets and other leftovers
  • Enough cold water to just cover the bones
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • 2½ tsp dried parsley, ¼ of a bunch fresh, or a handful of leftover stalks
  • 2 tsp thyme
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 3 Tbsp rice vinegar (or 1 Tbsp per quart of water) or vinegar of your choice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
Instructions
  1. Break apart the turkey cavity and lay all bones as flat as possible in a large stock pot.
  2. Add just enough cold water to cover the bones, no more.
  3. Don't peel onion or garlic, just rinse and roughly cut up into thick wedges or slices.
  4. Add the rest of the ingredients.
  5. Bring to a boil, cover w/ lid and let simmer on low heat for at least6 hours, preferably 24 hours.
  6. Stir once in a while, and check the water level, making sure water just barely covers the bones. Add more water if necessary.
  7. Drain the stock into a pot, discard bones and solids.
  8. Refrigerate stock overnight.
  9. Spoon into containers or zip-lock bags, portions of 2-4 cups each, then use immediately or freeze.
Notes
If you lack some of these seasonings or herbs, you can easily substitute with other ingredients you may have on hand. This is no rocket science, just use what you have.
