This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Don't throw out that Thanksgiving turkey carcass! It makes wonderful a wonderful turkey stock that you can use in a variety of recipes. It also freezes well.

1 turkey carcass
2 stalks celery, coarsely sliced with leaves
2 carrots, cut in chunks
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
3 quarts water
Remove the bulk of the meat from the carcass to use for sandwiches or in casseroles. Cut or break the carcass as needed to fit in the crock pot. If you reserved the neck you can add that as well. Do not add any giblets.
Add the remaining ingredients. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 18-24 hours.
Let cool slightly then strain the liquid through a fine sieve or through several layers of cheesecloth. Discard the vegetables and seasonings.
Pick off any meat remaining on the bones and add to the broth or reserve for another use.
The broth can be frozen for 3-4 months.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Good basic recipe for turkey broth. I added in all the natural juices from when I baked the turkey, which I think helped in a better bodied broth. This freezes well.
