Turkey Stock / Turkey and Wild Rice Soup
The addition of cream transforms the Turkey and Wild Rice Soup into a more filling meal. The flavors continue to develop, making the soup even better the next day. I love the flavor of wild rice, but 2 cups of cooked white rice works well, too.
Ingredients
Instructions
Remove legs, thighs, wings, and all of the stuffing from carcass. Remove any meat still on bones (chop and refrigerate for use in soup recipe). Place carcass, bones, and remaining ingredients in a stockpot (you may have to crack the bones to fit your pot). Add just enough cold water to cover bones by 1 inch. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 4 hours, skimming surface frequently and discarding any white foam that forms on the surface. Remove from heat and cool.
Strain stock through a cheesecloth-lined colander or a fine sieve into a large bowl; discard bones, vegetables, and seasonings. Cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight. Once stock has cooled sufficiently for fat to solidify, remove and discard fat from top before using. Yield: about 4 quarts

I'm confused by the recipes
I'm confused by the recipes in this segment. It is titled "Slow Cooker" recipes, but none of them use a slow cooker, but a dutch oven. Have I missed something here? Maybe there is a separate set of instructions I have not seen.
