I made a pot of turkey stock last night. When it was done I put the pot in the garage and went to bed. It was in the 20's today (all but 5 days this November in Michigan temperatures have been below average) and we just got home from a special event at the Zoo. When we got home I grabbed the stock pot so I could remove the strainer. It gave me some resistance initially but when it came out it made a funny suction noise. When I gazed into the pot I found myself staring at a pot of Jello. Those extra cold temps coupled with all of that gelatin from the bones....fortunately it will turn back to liquid when it's heated up. Regardless, I thought it looked hilarious, so I'm posting a picture of it.

Did this in my P-cooker with ground thighs and chopped up chicken wings, and it formed a solid jello in the fridge, which was then liquefied in some warm water, and combined with roux to make a gravy.

Potkettleblack so this turkey gel would be the fat, i use (for example) 4 TBSP of this and 4 TBSP flour, add stock (chicken?) and we have gravy. i don't have much experience in making gravy even though it's so simple so there's a lot of unspoken common sense i don't pick up on

DeusDingo no, the turkey gel is actually turkey broth that has gelled due to being chilled. It's the result of it's high gelatin content from the initial cooking of the skin, meat, and bones. To make a roux, like Potkettleblack suggests, you heat 4 TBS of oil/fat and then mix in 4 TBS flour. Stir/whisk while cooking until it gets a golden brown or beige color. Then add the melted turkey gel.

Turkey Stock isn't a good buy during the holidays. Wait till well after Easter, then sell early November.

Mine did the same thing this time. I made a crock pot full, 6Q I think, and used the turkey backbone, neck, and wing tips, plus I threw in a lb of chicken necks. Plus the regulary veggies and such. I ended up with 2Q of stock and put it in the fridge. 2 days later I pulled it out and wow! All gelatin! It made a GREAT gravy...just sayin!
