Thank you for your website. I have made stock using your crock pot chicken stock/broth recipe before, with great success. Tonight I’m using the bones from our Thanksgiving turkey to do a batch. I have a couple questions for you: 1) I’d like to use the turkey neck to make a batch of broth. Do I need to boil the neck first, or can I just toss the raw neck and veggies in and let her rip? 2) What changes to the veggies/seasonings should I make when I turn the ham bone into stock?
Hi Moira. I would flavor the turkey broth like I would a chicken broth, but it’s up to you and your tastebuds. If you are cooking your broth 12-24 hours, then I would have no worries cooking your raw turkey neck because it will cook. You can throw bay leaves and peppercorns in your ham stock if you want. Hope that helps. Blessings!
