Notes: Replace 2 pounds of the chicken bones with turkey necks for an extra rich, gelatinous stock.
Add to the aromatic ingredients suggested here or replace them with other ingredients to achieve a particular flavor. Options for a specific flavor in the finished stock include: sliced fresh ginger, lemongrass, fresh or dried chiles, strongly flavored herbs, such as tarragon or rosemary, mushroom stems.
Using a prepared stock or rémouillage gives stocks greater body and flavor. These stocks are sometimes known as double-strength.
