re: Oven Turkey Stock Procedure-Making the Gravy Base Early

I didn't think you sounded pathetic at all!

I like Thanksgiving more than any holiday. No costumes or gifts. Just family, friends, food, football and "fibations".

Make that oven stock and do something with it. It put me in a mighty happy mood smelling it. I'm about to make another one for the smoked turkey gumbo I have to get made this weekend. I don't know where in hells bells I'm going to put, though. My freezers are all pretty full. I don't need all of it, but I do need some of it for gifts and myself, of course. I'll make more after Christmas to keep my supply going once I've gotten rid of what's already in there from a few weeks ago. I thought I'd cleaned out enough but I didn't. I do love the new ziploc holiday quart containers in red, green, white and blue. I nearly bought out the store. They're bright and fun.
