Ingredients
5 1/2 pounds turkey wings Neck, heart, and gizzard reserved from turkey
12 cups low-salt chicken broth

Using tongs, transfer neck, heart, and gizzard to plate; reserve. Discard wings. Strain stock and spoon off fat from surface. Measure stock and, if necessary, boil until reduced to 81/2 to 9 cups.
