T-7 Days - the countdown begins

[derekl_1963]

The first load of turkey parts just went into the oven roast... Much of the next week will be devoted to roasting turkey parts (for flavor) combining them with unroasted parts (for body), making a base stock, then patiently cooking it down. By T-Day I'll need about three quarts of enriched stock (reduced 2-4:1 from the base) for my stuffing and basting the turkey, and about a quart or so of demi-glace (reduced about 8-10:1 from the base) for my gravy.

I'll probably bitch and moan mightily over the next week, but boy is it going to taste gooooood!
