“This recipe is used to make Awesome Tangerine-Glazed Turkey with Awesome Sausage, Apple & Dried Cranberry Stuffing (see recipes). To make life easy on Thanksgiving Day, prepare this stock in advance. (Note: This stock can be made up to two days in advance. Allow stock to cool completely, uncovered. Keep chilled in an airtight container, in refrigerator, until ready to use).” - by Stacy M. Polcyn

Ingredients

1 neck, giblets, and liver from a turkey
6 cups water
1 stalk celery, sliced
1 carrot, sliced
1 onion, quartered
2 tangerines, zested
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Hide Checklist

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the neck and giblets (excluding the liver), 6 cups water, celery, carrot, onion, tangerine rind, bay leaf and peppercorns. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and continue to cook at a simmer, skimming the froth occasionally for 1 hour. Add liver and continue to cook at a bare simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
Strain the stock through a fine sieve into a bowl. Reserve the liver for Awesome Sausage, Apple & Dried Cranberry Stuffing. Reserve the neck and remaining giblets for the gravy. There should be about 3 cups of stock. If there is more, simmer the stock until it is reduced to about 3 cups; if there is less, add enough water to measure about 3 cups.
