Total Time:
Slow simmer smoked turkey legs with onions, carrots, and water for a flavorful broth perfect for soups or recipes needing stock. Enjoy the tender turkey meat too!
Ingredients:
  • 2 smoked turkey legs
  • 1 large red onion, cut in half
  • 1 large Spanish onion, cut in half
  • 1 large carrot, cut in thirds
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 7 quarts cold water
  • 5 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
  • 10 whole black peppercorns
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup water
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for a perfect cooking temperature.
  • Coat the turkey legs, red onion, Spanish onion, carrot, and red bell pepper in olive oil before placing them in a roasting pan.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until the turkey and vegetables are beautifully golden brown, approximately 15 minutes.
  • In a large stockpot over medium heat, combine 7 quarts of water, roasted turkey, vegetables, garlic, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Heat the roasting pan over two stove burners until the drippings sizzle. Add 1 cup of water and deglaze, scraping up all the flavorful browned bits. Transfer the drippings mixture to the stock.
  • Simmer for 6 hours, occasionally removing and discarding any foam from the top of the broth. Strain the stock, removing the turkey and vegetables as they have infused all their flavors. Cool, store in airtight containers, and freeze if desired.
