The days following Thanksgiving usually mean leftover turkey sandwiches...better yet, leftover open-faced turkey sandwiches with lots of gravy and a dab of cranberry sauce! There never seems to be enough gravy, however, and I have finally discovered a way to solve that problem. Read more . This is a labor-intensive process, but sooo worth it! Save this recipe until November rolls around. Call your butcher or supermarket meat dep't and ask when they will be getting in turkey wings and necks. The white meat from the cooked wings can be used in the stuffing (or dressing) or frozen for future use. Leaving the peel on the brown onions helps give the stock a rich color. Combine this stock with the pan drippings from your turkey when making your gravy. Please read the entire recipe before making.
Ingredients:
4 turkey wings
2 turkey necks
giblets
2 large carrots cut in hunks
2 celery ribs thickly sliced
2 brown onions, unpeeled and quartered
