Recipe information

  • Total Time

    2 1/2 hours

  • Yield

    About 2 1/2 quarts

Ingredients

Backbone, breastbone, wing tips, neck, and giblets from a 15-17-pound turkey
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder (not instant; optional)
1 large carrot, coarsely chopped
1 large onion, coarsely chopped

Special equipment:

A 6-qt. pressure cooker

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut turkey backbone and breastbone into pieces. Place backbone and breastbone pieces, wing tips, neck, and giblets in a roasting pan. Sprinkle with milk powder, if using, and toss to coat. Roast, stirring once halfway through, until turkey pieces are dark golden brown, 40–50 minutes.

    Step 3

    Pour turkey stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, gently but firmly pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.
