Crock Pot Chicken Or Turkey Stock Recipes

Steps:

• Turn on crock pot to high, add butter to crock pot, melt thoroughly.
• Place chicken or turkey in crock pot.
• Pour broth over chicken/turkey.
• Mix together stuffing, soup and water. Place on top of chicken/turkey.
• Cook on low for 3-4 hours for chicken, 5-6 hours for turkey.
• Stir/fluff occasionally if you are available (not mandatory). Slightly shred the chicken or turkey once it is done.
• Serve with vegetable of your choice.

Steps:

• After eating the cooked chickens for the original chicken dinners pick all meat from bones and reserve for other purposes.
• Break the bones apart so that they'll fit better into the crock pot.
• Put bones, skin, and fat from the chickens and the giblets, if available, into a 6qt crock pot.
• Add vegetables.
• Add cold water until crock pot is full to 1 1/2 inches below the rim.
• Cook on high 4 hours and then on low for another 6-8 hours.
• Strain the stock through a colander or cheesecloth and chill to solidify the fat for easy removal.
• Portion out and freeze stock in whatever quantities suit your needs.
• Tip -- Be sure that the water is COLD. Cold water draws the goodness out of the bones and veggies while hot water seals it inches So for stock you want to start with cold water and heat slowly to draw all the flavor into the stock while for cooking the meat/veggies to eat those you would plunge them into boiling water and cook rapidly to preserve the flavor in the meat/veggies.
• Tip -- Don't avoid using the fat. It adds flavor as it simmers and you remove it at the end anyway.
• Tip -- Unless your budget dictates that no possible source of protein/calories should be overlooked any meat that might be remaining on the bones is not worth salvaging because it will be mushy and tasteless.
• Tip -- This strong, jellied stock can be diluted with up to an equal quantity of water if you need to stretch the supply.
• Tip -- If one of the other uses you have for the chicken meat is chicken salad or any other dish that calls for celery you can substitute the leaves and trimmings from several celery stocks instead of using whole stalks.
• Tip -- Some people use the onions peel and all. I find stock made that way can be a touch bitter. But it does give a very rich color when using yellow onions. Try it once to see if you like it. (If you don't the stock is not wasted because you can use it in curry where the intensity of the spices will overpower the unwanted flavor anyway).
• Tip -- you can save chicken carcasses and giblets in the freezer until wanted.
• Tip -- You can substitute turkey or use a mix of turkey and chicken if you have it on hand.

Steps:

• Preheat the crock-pot on high.
• Try breaking up the bones as small as possible, place with all the other ingredients in the crock-pot.
• Cover with as much boiling water your crock-pot can take, I can add approx 6 cups of water.
• Switch to LOW and cook for 12 or up to 24 hours.
• Strain, cool, skim of the fat, use the stock or freeze.
• If there is any meat on the bones, remove it and use for the soup or other dishes, it will be also good for a ragout.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces and/or carcass (or the turkey carcass) in an extra large stock pot, along with all remaining ingredients.
• Fill with cold water to cover ingredients, and up to almost three quarters of the stock pot.
• Place on stove element; cover and bring to a full boil.
• Reduce heat; simmer and remove any fat or scum that is floating on top of the water.
• At this point you can transfer to a crockpot.
• Simmer covered with a lid on low heat for about 4-5 hours for stove top (or 9-12 hours on LOW setting for a crockpot).
• Adjust salt to suit taste.
• After the 5-6 hours of simmering time turn off heat and allow the pot to sit until room temperature with all ingredients still in the pot, DO NOT REMOVE BONES OR VEGGIES.
• Transfer the pot to the fridge (with all ingredients still in it) and chill overnight.
• THE FOLLOWING DAY: Remove the pot from the fridge (mixture will be a jelly consistency).
• Remove any fat that has gathered on top.
• Heat again until just to a liquid (this will make it easier to strain).
• Remove all chicken pieces and strain in a large strainer, if desired you may strain again in a cheesecloth, but it is not necessary.
• Let cool completely and freeze in containers.

Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces, water, celery, carrots, onion, and basil in a slow cooker.
• Cook on Low setting for 8 to 10 hours. Strain before using, and discard vegetables. Chicken may be removed from the bones, and used in soup.

Steps:

• Place an oval meat rack in a slow cooker lightly coated with 1 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil for 200 degrees maximum heat.
• Brush legs lightly with 1 tbsp.liquified extra virgin oil.
• Mix seasonings together and sprinkle over turkey legs.
• Cover and cook on low 10-12 hours or until tender. Alternatively, cook on high about 5 1/2-6 hours. This recipe assumes low temperature is at least 185 degrees.
