Who got the turkey carcass to make stock??

If you can believe it, for Thanksgiving, the cook did not cook the giblets as they "didn't want them" (took 'em out of the Butterball turkey and put them in their fridge). I asked for them to feed my cats (who love raw organ meats, sorry to be gross). Turns out another friend wanted the liver so they went there instead. I'm sorry, but the giblets make the BEST gravy and they are so useful for stock, etc. I was so surprised they were looked upon as 'garbage'.

Mine is slow cooking as we speak. With onion, celery and leeks. I hate whats coming tho- the picking thru looking for bones! The house smells great!

In the neighborhood to the south of us I noticed that someone had thrown TWO turkey carcasses along the road for the feral chickens to pick clean... and they were almost picked entirely clean.

We've decided stock is too much work here. Heck, I'm lucky if I can get my wife to even cook a turkey.

Anybody ever give the carcass to their chickens? I bet they would be just like Christmas for them!

i did, it's in the freezer. i'm cooking another turkey tomorrow so i'm waiting to make stock out of both of them at once

I cooked the turkey, so I cooked the carcass all night Thursday night and all day Friday with celery and onions. I have the best stock in my freezer!

This famous video of mine "The chicken massage" was taken when I fed the chickens a turkey carcass. You can see them devouring it.

Oh, Mom stopped over today and dropped off the carcass from her house on Thursday. This makes #3 for me this week.

I pressure cooked my turkey carcass till I had some nice stock. Separated the stock pressure canned it then pressure cooked the carcass a second time till the bones were nice and soft. Ground up the bones and the gristle and stuff and fed that to the chickens. They went crazy for it. Figured the ground bone would give them calcium and the meat and gristle would give then extra protien since they are doing the 9 month old moult thing.
