But it is not necessary to leave all the meat on the bones; certainly remove a good deal of it for eating.

Place the pan on a stove burner over medium-high heat until the fat begins to sizzle. Pour in 1/2 cup white wine (I used dry sherry), a few tablespoons at a time, stirring constantly and breaking up any bits clinging to the bottom of the pan. When the pan is clean and only liquid remains, turn off the heat and pour the liquid off into a clean jar or heat-proof bowl. Refrigerate. “,”image”:{“id”:”946f9681f3599edeab66b9a662fdd90b9f1f6c7e”,”width”:600,”height”:425,”format”:”JPEG”,”created_by_id”:30,”updated_by_id”:null,”created_at”:”2010-11-19T13:34:52.000-05:00″,”updated_at”:”2016-08-17T17:06:45.137-04:00″,”credit_style”:”author”,”credit_author_id”:492,”credit_name”:null,”credit_url”:null,”credit_email”:null,”credit_custom”:null,”credit_license”:null,”credit_linked_post_id”:null,”focus_x”:null,”focus_y”:null,”filename”:null,”alt_text”:null,”exclude_from_color_search”:false,”crop”:null,”ancestor”:”51b6158bfb04d67b4a000518″}},{“image_id”:”41564e4ff5e05394e16aff3625603f98915f6d12″,”caption”:”Place the turkey bones and remaining meat in a 4-quart pot (or larger).

Reduce the heat until the pot is simmering. Cover, partially, with a lid, and go about your business. Simmer for as long as you can let it go. (This is one of many steps in the process that are really up to you. If you can only cook it for an hour, it won’t be as rich, but it will still be wonderful.) It’s ideal to let it simmer for several hours at least. Check it frequently, however, and make sure that the liquid level isn’t slipping down too far. \r\n\r\nWhen you’re done simmering the turkey stock and are ready to make gravy, turn off the heat and strain the broth into a bowl. Press down on the turkey meat and bones to release all the liquid. You should have at least 6 cups of stock \u0026mdash; hopefully more. (This might sound like heresy to some, but honestly, there is \u003cem\u003enothing\u003c/em\u003e wrong with setting your first, richer stock aside and refilling the pot and going for a second round. The resulting stock will be thinner and not as rich, of course, but it’s still extremely delicious for soups and other cooking projects.) “,”image”:{“id”:”5eb364816b11a79106b426b7ed5150e1976e9de6″,”width”:600,”height”:425,”format”:”JPEG”,”created_by_id”:30,”updated_by_id”:null,”created_at”:”2010-11-19T13:35:15.000-05:00″,”updated_at”:”2016-08-17T17:06:45.137-04:00″,”credit_style”:”author”,”credit_author_id”:492,”credit_name”:null,”credit_url”:null,”credit_email”:null,”credit_custom”:null,”credit_license”:null,”credit_linked_post_id”:null,”focus_x”:null,”focus_y”:null,”filename”:null,”alt_text”:null,”exclude_from_color_search”:false,”crop”:null,”ancestor”:”51b61590fb04d67b4a00051a”}},{“image_id”:”fad5821b55053dc60e9a0b8e1f7a5b6614abf802″,”caption”:”So now you have your turkey meat, and a big pot of turkey stock.
