Ingredients

  • 2 pounds smoked turkey wings
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 large onion quartered
  • 2 medium carrots scrubbed and coarsely chipped
  • 2 large celery stalks coarsely chopped
  • 1 medium garlic halved crosswise
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 2 large bay leaves
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 24 cups water

Instructions 

  • Add all ingredients to a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Stir. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cook uncovered  3-1/2  - 4-1/2 hours until meat is falling apart and liquid is reduced by half.
  • Scoop out large pieces and discard. Strain stock into another large pot, discard solids.
  • Allow to cool slightly, then chill. Fat will rise to the top in a solid layer and be easier to remove. Skim off the fat and transfer stock into airtight containers. Refrigerate until use.

FOR FREEZING:

  • Cool completely. Ladle into airtight freezer safe plastic containers. Leave 1-inch at top open for expansion. Freeze for up to 6 months.

Chef Tips

Recipe requires a large 3 gallon stockpot.
Simmer stock for the full 4-1/2 hours for stock that is rich, thick and gelatinous.
Make Ahead   Stock can be made up to a week in advance, and will keep in the freezer for up to 6 months.
