STEP 2
Reduce heat to low; cook, uncovered, 2 1/2-3 hours or until liquid is slightly reduced. Strain mixture through fine wire mesh strainer. Set aside to cool. Skim and discard fat. Discard all solids.
Tip #1
Use kitchen shears to cut through rib bones and joints of turkey carcass so they fit better into a pan. You could use two carcasses of rotisserie or roasted chickens in place of the turkey carcass.
Tip #2
When cooked, the broth will have a jelly-like consistency, similar to canned consommé. The broth is liquid when heated. Broth can be frozen, but the jelly-like consistency will break down when thawed. It is still fine to use in any recipe calling for stock or broth as it becomes liquid again when heated.
