Ingredients

turkey stock1/2 pound turkey parts, such as necks, legs or thighs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 carrots, peeled, quartered
3 celery stalks, peeled, quartered
2 small onions, peeled, quartered
2 quarts water

Directions

Sprinkle the turkey parts with salt. Heat a large stockpot over high heat and add the olive oil. Add the turkey parts and brown 2 to 3 minutes, turning once until both sides begin to brown. Add the carrots, celery, and onions. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more until the vegetables become fragrant.

Add the water and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook 45 minutes to one hour, adding 2 to 3 cups of water throughout to keep the water level high. Drain the broth into a large bowl and discard the turkey parts and vegetables. Transfer the broth to air-tight containers and store refrigerated for up to one week. Or freeze in the containers for up to 6 months.
