Turkey, Turkey, Turkey...

As previously stated, this year I wanted to make sure that no food would be wasted if I could help it, and I'll start with the most obvious - The Turkey!

We'd finished most of the meat by Boxing Day evening and once the bacon was being opened for lunch on the 27th I knew it was all over for that poor turkey. It was only a matter of time before its batter bones would be flung to the bin or even worse, just left to go a strange shade of green for weeks in the fridge.

Not this year, Turkey.. not this year. 

I went for the standard turkey soup (to be honest, I'm not sure if there really is anything else you can do with it) so went ahead and started the stock. Seemed easy enough, just breaking up all the bones to fit them into the pot, cut up a few veggies and then boil it for about four hours. And before long, I was doing just that...
