Ingredients

  • 1 set Turkey neck and giblets
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 3 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 cloves garlic

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange turkey neck and giblets in a large ovenproof skillet. Roast until very well browned, 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven, add wine, and set over medium heat. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until wine is reduced by three-quarters, 8-10 minutes. Transfer neck, giblets, and liquid to a large pot; add chicken wings, onion, garlic, and 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until liquid is reduced to about 3 cups, about 1 hour. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard solids.

Whisking vigorously, add warm stock; bring to a simmer. Cook 1 minute; reduce heat to low and whisk in mustard and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
