• 6 cups water
• 1 turkey neck, giblets, and liver
• 1 onion, quartered
• 1 stalk celery, sliced
• 1 carrot, sliced
• Zest of 2 tangerines
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 1 bay leaf

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, combine water, turkey neck, giblets (excluding liver), onion, celery, carrot, tangerine zest, peppercorns, and bay leaf.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
3. Reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 1 hour, skimming any froth from the surface occasionally.
4. Add the turkey liver to the pot and continue simmering gently for another 30 minutes.
5. Strain the stock through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Set the liver aside for another use, and reserve the neck and remaining giblets for gravy.
6. Check the volume of the stock. You should have about 3 cups. If there is more, return the stock to the saucepan and simmer until reduced to approximately 3 cups. If there is less, add water to reach 3 cups.

Cooks Note

You can prepare the stock up to 2 days in advance. Let it cool completely at room temperature, uncovered, then store in an airtight in the refrigerator until ready to use.

The cooked liver can be used in other recipes, such as stuffing with sausage, apple, and cranberry.
