Am I the only person that has watched this video at least 5 times? I just do not want to miss anything to take my dressing to a new level. I trust Chef Jeff on all things cooking.

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Thanks

[@Gracian40]

I have watched it a few times as well

[@cheleblee4994]

You are not alone!

[@Gracian40]

Nope! I watched countless times

[@TheTbreck]

No!!! Lol.😊

[@AuntieMo]

Unc this is my 3rd year using this recipe to make my dressing and my family LOVES it! Thanks for keeping the old school traditions alive. At 43yr I’m considered one of the elders in my family and these are the traditions that we need to keep going. Stay Blessed!

[@debragarrison7326]

Amazing stock, so I can not figure out why someone would give this a thumbs down. This sweet man is very knowledgeable about what he's doing. People please be nice. We all can learn from others.

[@Garyguygax]

The Turkeys don’t like it.

[@jayc7008]

I agree. And he takes the time to share the recipes in the description.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Agree... might be one of those animal rights veee-gans that did the thumbs down. Those idiots are trying to pass laws in my state that will make it illegal to grow bovine, pigs, and birds for harvest. They even want to outlaw owning pets, calling it "animal slavery".

[@Garyguygax]

@@jenniferwhitewolf3784 Well if any vegans are reading here is my recipe for kale: Wash and cut 2 cups of kale Heat a pan with lots of coconut oil. This is important as pan needs to be very slick for next step Slide all that nasty kale into the trash were it belongs Hope this helps any vegans.

[@mercyjustice5918]

I so agree! He's a blessing

[@VenusMasonThues]

Chef Jeffery!!! I made a beautiful big pot of stock yesterday and asked my dear NON-COOKING HUSBAND to pour it into the strainer for me. I had my back turned while I was getting the meat off the necks. He misunderstood what I wanted him to do with the stock and POURED IT DOWN THE DRAIN!!!😢😢😢😢 Bless his heart he thought I was saving the vegetables🥴 I was laughing and crying at the same time😵‍💫 So today I'm doing it all over.

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Oh wow 😯

[@GinaSiska]

This is the healthiest stock ever! All that gelatinous stuff is so good for your joints, skin and hair!! Thanks chef!!

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

You are so welcome

[@claresebrown55]

I couldn't find fresh turkey tails. I only found smoked turkey tails. Can I use the smoked tails?

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Don’t use smoke. No

Now that's how to make stock. This is professional restaurant quality cooking.

[@OLDSCHOOLSOULFOOD]

Wow, thanks

[@joycejones4855]

I can just eat the turkey necks just like the way they are plain and well seasoned “mmmm love that old school cooking

[@LisatheHousewife]

Good eating, my family loves these old school ways and I am keeping them alive with my 6 year old daughter. Even got my husband to stop eating stovetop and love homemade dressing again. Thanks Chef ❤️ya.

[@dianebenson8943]

CHEF, you hit it dead on as my 97 year old neighbor taught me how to do this year's ago. She also included turkey backs. Luckily I can find fresh turkey tails, necks and backs right here in Los Angeles, California! Fresh or smoked turkey wings or drumsticks don't work for me as the turkey tails have more flavor because they have more fat. I do use smoked turkey tails for cooking my greens which is readily available here as well. Just gotta know where to look and go. Thee best stock for your dressing ever! Many thanks for sharing with those who didn't know 🙂

[@JordanBoydLA]

I also live in the LA area. I found fresh turkey necks at a Latino store.

[@andreajackson2250]

You make me laugh 😊 I love turkey tails. Be bless 👏🏿

I’m going to eat good this Thanksgiving thanks to you Old School. I’ve already baked my sweet potatoes cut up all of my vegetables for my dressing and now I’m done boiling my gizzards for my giblet gravy. Not quite there yet with my preparation. I should be done cooking around 4:00 pm Thanksgiving Day!😘

[@wandacollier8764]

Never made Turkey stock before always made chicken stock, I'm gonna start making some now. Thanks chef Jeff

[@ladyveevee2888]

It's that time of the year again and I am determined to follow the directions this year. Almost messed up by not roasting the vegetables. I will win thanks to Chef Jeff!

[@jonihughey1352]

Yesterday I cooked big turkey wings with celery, onions, carrots, fresh homegrown thyme. It smelled so good. I’m freezing my stock for cornbread dressing at Thanksgiving. I learned from you last year. 👩‍🍳😋

[@jonihughey1352]

It was gelatin today when I refrigerated it.

[@andreawilliams8342]

Thank you Jeff I always receive little golden nuggets of cooking education from you, and as you say, "IT REALLY PUTS IT OVER THE TOP" every time #helpsomebodyoldschoolsoulfood

You are right chef the turkey tails are so full of flavor. I use smoke turkey tails in my collard greens.

[@sherrypurdy9105]

This man knows his stuff when it comes to food you all...this stock is the best. I cook very similar to him and have made some of his recipes. They taste the best for sure and I am not southern...I just like good tasting food and that is what life is all about to me? Good family, friends, fellowship and good food to share with all!

[@gwenholcombe9705]

Good morning ☀️ Chef Jeffrey. You are definitely bringing back memories of days gone by when I used to see my beautiful Mother in the kitchen preparing delicious food for us.(The Family).🙏🏽❤️

[@annettagross4687]

Love how you cooked that turkey 🦃 stock soup and I just love turkey necks also. I'm going to try your recipe for sure

[@EbonyIvyThymewithLeona]

Thank you so much for confirming that using EVERYTHING is so important. I'm teaching my children and grands that message also. I have to prepare the giblets when no one is around. They would pass out if they knew they were eating giblets in the gravy and dressing❤️🦃 You are a great chef.

[@barbram8001]

This is quality home cooking! Better than any restaurant cooking.

[@alyswilliams9571]

Well made stock is so important and so delicious when making gravies and other sauces or as the base for soups.

[@ginafriend1690]

... And we're off to the races, "turkey butt" 😂 ... Excellent advice!! Anyone come back asking, tell them to go back and start with the "dirty flour" 😁 . Stock would be a very important step! YUMM 😋 the turkey butt (tail) is what gave it that jiggle ☺ . Thanks, Chef!

[@susanaliddell4700]

Thank you Chef Jeffrey, another year of a great meal, thanks to you! Happy thanksgiving, I will always be grateful for you. I still have to watch the videos to get it right, thank you!

[@Waffles84]

The depth of the turkey stock is liquid gold. Here is where I slice meat off bones and boil. Great way to use carcass for bold turkey soup, turkey and rice, homemade dressing and giblets for gravy. Chef you got my mouth watering now!!! Hehehehe I boil my skin and neck etc and bones in with turkey stuff because I always do chicken salad as well at holidays. This is such a rich stock. Love ya cooking 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@suzannemellan2173]

Hello Jeffrey I just looked up this video so I can make my stock ahead of time and I can't wait to taste it, it looks scrumptious 😋 you are truly a blessing from God and I thank you for sharing your skills and talents with all of us.

Good Morning Chef Jeffrey. I smell the aroma in the air and this is the way my Mama would cook her stock, and put meat in the dressing. I had to laugh, when you talked about those turkey butts. My cousin would buy a case and put them on the barbecue pit. You thought they were eating a ribeye steak, lol. Thank you for another Motivational Monday, with a sensational tasting turkey stock video. Stay safe.

That stock IS gonna make the difference. I remember eating turkey butts and lima beans bk in the day, umm, umm!! I still eat turkey necks to this day...stay blessed!!

[@MaryMartin-i5q]

Yumyum I love it I will be making this stock from now on👍👍👍👍

[@kathyphilmurphy5517]

Absolutely the homemade turkey stock is the best! I have been making it a few years. I just found the turkey butts/tails last year. Usually, I use turkey wings. Roasting in the oven till everything is golden brown is critical for stock color and the color of the gravy/dressing/etc. You have a few more ingredients in your stock, and I will add them to my recipe this year. I bought a roaster oven from my favorite thrift store for $15 this year with turkey broth on my mind. Make this early and freeze like you said, chef. Get as much done early as you can. The secret to planning, as you said. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@nu2u181]

Every recipe I followed came out absolutely delicious🔥🔥🔥

[@beverlysims10]

I know that’s going to be good . My late mother in law made turkey tail dressing. We call the tails the last part to go over the fence. Thank you Chef. My family loves your videos.

[@Mommalg5483]

Aroma therapy at its best! Nothing like the smell of that goodness. Can't wait til I get mine cooking!

[@bigmama752]

I’m going the OSSF route this time around. I always layered the top of my cornbread dressing, before I put it in the oven, with seasoned parboiled turkey tails. I never thought they were too oily. They would drip down into my dressing and at the same time they’d come out roasted with a nice color. I didn’t eat them but all the menfolk did. Thanks and continued Blessings.

[@ladyowl6743]

Yes I had always used smoked turkey necks but wanted a different flavor this time... Never thought to just roast the necks to give it a different taste on the deep flavor of the stock.. never to old to learn something new.. Thank you chef I will be roasting all veggies this go round for my stock.

[@benjaminbullock8968]

this man is the reason my Thanksgiving was excellent! people think I've been cooking for years.

[@nettiehaten1691]

Thanks chef ! I usually make my stock in pressure cooker with chicken parts,also use the chicken in my cornbread dressing. I have a garden in back yard with rosemary, thyme plants will be using in my dressing, I never used them before. 😊 thanks

[@yolandashields5490]

So funny about the turkey tails 😂 That’s my favorite part of the turkey with some good hot sauce!

[@dharmon8798]

They're giving it a thumbs down because they don't cook this way probably. Hopefully they don't have tasteless food. You got to have a good stock in order to have good flavor to the dressing. If it's because of the turkey tails, you can leave them out.

[@sheilahtaylor3005]

They just SURF making negative comments..no matter what! Excellent broth Chef

[@asmith2154]

Can't wait to try this! My family love dressing so much, we make it tear round even for 4th of July. I believe roasting the turkey parts before simmering the stock will take my dressing to a new level. Thanks for sharing!

[@briancaldwell7909]

I made your stock for thanksgiving and it is soooo much better than the store brought thank you I even have some left that I froze for future usage

I need someone to invent smellavision. This looks so amazing and I know it taste equally as good. You can bottle that. I'd buy it. It certainly looks better than what I get out of the store. I think I'm going to give my family the best Thanksgiving yet by making thus for them. Thanks for sharing this. My stomach is growling.

[@vickiibendit943]

I’ll also pour some of the stock into old fashioned ice cube trays and pop into a freezer bag when frozen solid. Then I just pop a stock cube into whatever I’m cooking. I’ll also throw some pepper corns into the stock.

New idea for me to cook the bones and tails in the oven. I always just put them in the stock pot and simmered them. My family would snack on the cooked meat. We don’t care for the meat in our gravy or dressing but I’m absolutely going to try your oven method. I grow my own sage and thyme in the summer just for my dressing.
