QuantityIngredient
6poundsChicken bones or wings; coarsely chopped
1largeOnion; coarsely chopped
1smallCarrot; coarsely chopped
1smallCelery rib; coarsely chopped
1Garlic head; halved crosswise
2Sprigs fresh thyme
2Sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
1teaspoonWhole black peppercorns

Directions

Place the chicken bones in a large stockpot, and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Add remaining ingredients.

Reduce heat to low, and gently simmer stock, uncovered, until it is very flavorful, at least 6 hours.

Set a sieve over a large bowl; strain stock. Let cool completely. Skim and discard the clear yellow fat that rises to the surface. (You may prepare turkey stock up to 4 days ahead, and store, refrigerated, in an airtight container, or freeze up to 3 months.) Makes about 2½ quarts.
