Smoked turkey stock!
bada bing!
Congratulations, stock! The compebreastion was tough this year, but you came out on top!
We all know you were essential to making masa for the post turkey-day tamales, but you were also instumental in numerous sauces in the weeks since that momentous day! Why, just last night, you were the base of a chipotle-yougurtlemon sauce for roast chicken (nevermind that D said it was too sour; she was dead wrong, and we know it, don't we?)-- AND you provided the moisture for the spinach with caramelized onions and tbutto -- AND you got a serious reduction so you could glaze the diced zucchini with preserved lemons! All in ONE MEAL!
Well beyond any mere triple threat, Smoked turkey stock, you're a fabulous addition to any meal. Any meal at all!
newbie 1079Missy, if you haven't figured it out yet, and by now you should have ;) this is just a bunch of folks talking about food and sharing...
And you never complain when we freeze you! Whadda champ of a leftover you are, Smoked turkey stock! A champ for the ages, indeed!
But if you start talking -- customary acceptance speeches not withstanding -- I'm gonna throw you out. Ain't got no room for talking stock in my kitchen.
