I made this stock right after Christmas, could not pass up the inexpensive turkeys. I like to use as much of everything that I can. When I came across your recipe I thought that is so interesting, I never thought of roasting the caucus first with all the veggies the carcass looked so horrid next to all the veggies. After making the stock that smelled wonderful I froze it. So this is why the delay on the review. I just made cream of turnkey soup #115086 so here is my review. This is the best turkey stock that I have ever made. Bare with me most of you have seen Charlie and the Chocolate factory where little violet disobeys and chews the gum that has an entire dinner rolled up in one piece of chewing gum. Well this stock tastes like you are eating the entire Thanksgiving dinner rolled up in one, it has a wonderful roasted turkey flavor that is sublime! Recipe Zaar needs to add a sixth golden star for out of this world flavor this recipe deserves it.

This makes a WONDERFUL broth.. I remember my mother using the roasting method for her beef and barley soup, roasting the beef bones she got from the butcher. The only change I would make is to roast the bones and veggies (in batches) in the stock pot (mine is cast iron), so as not to lose any of the oils from the veggies or "brown bits" from the meat in the roasting process. Thanks for the recipe!!
