While you’re at it, try our homemade chicken stock! The long and gentle cooking keeps the stock clean (no yucky foam to spoon off the top) and extracts all the delicious flavor from the bones. Cooking the stock in your slow cooker also keeps your house from becoming a hot turkey steam room. Big bonus.
How to make crockpot turkey stock
We LOVE making turkey stock in our slow cooker after Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey dinner. The biggest reason why we love it so much is that making the stock becomes part of cleaning up and not a whole other task. Usually, you have to find a place in your full fridge to store the turkey bones until you’re ready to use them. But instead, ‘store’ them in your crockpot and the next day you’ll have stock. Two birds, one stone. That’s it! Because the roasted bones have so much flavor, we don’t add vegetables or seasonings to the stock. It also means that you can add them straight to your crockpot after dinner without making more (chopping veggies) work for yourself.
