Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Neck, heart, and gizzard from turkey
3 celery stalks, halved crosswise
3 carrots, halved crosswise
1 medium onion, quartered
8 ounces white mushrooms, halved
4 quarts (16 cups) water
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 bunch fresh thyme
12 fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs
1 tablespoon coarse salt
Preparation
Heat oil in a stockpot on high. Add turkey parts, and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover partially. Simmer gently, skimming foam from surface as needed, for two hours.
Pour stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Place bowl in an ice-water bath to cool. Stock can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
