Nothing quite replaces a good, homemade vegetable stock. Sure, store-bought can be very good, but homemade is levels above even that. It’s incredibly simple and takes very little time to make, too, and can be adjusted to suit your tastes.

Day-After Turkey Stock
This is why you save the turkey carcass after Thanksgiving. You can scale it up or down depending on how big your turkey was.
Chicken & Dumpling Soup
This is total winter comfort food at its best; light and fluffy dumplings bobbing around in rich broth. With a scattering of feathery dill–fresh, with a sweet-sour lashing–it’s the ultimate perfection. Best yet, you can use leftover holiday turkey bones and meat for it!
Cider & Sage Brined Turkey with Perfect Gravy
This turkey is delicious, filling and cozy. If you want a meal to impress you can’t fail with this. And you’ll never go back to a gravy packet again after this, either!
Chicken Stock
There’s nothing quite like homemade chicken stock! It’s instantly comforting for soups and stews, but has a never-ending list of other uses and the smell of it simmering alone is enough to relax you!
