Yield: Makes 3 cups
Ingredients:
Reserved giblets and neck from turkey (discard liver or reserve for another use)

4
cups water

1
can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth

1
medium onion, cut into quarters

2
medium carrots, coarsely chopped

4
large sprigs fresh parsley

1
bay leaf

1
teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed

10
whole black peppercorns



Preparation:
1.
For broth, combine giblets and neck, water and chicken broth in 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; skim off foam. Stir in onion, carrots, parsley, bay leaf, thyme and peppercorns. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, 1-1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. (If liquid evaporates too quickly, add additional 1/2 cup water.) Cool to room temperature.

2.
Strain broth; set aside. If broth measures less than 3 cups, add water to equal 3 cups liquid. If broth measures more than 3 cups, bring to a boil and heat until liquid is reduced to 3 cups. Remove meat from neck and chop giblets finely; set aside. Broth may be prepared up to 1 day before serving. Cover giblets and broth separately and refrigerate.
