Step 1
Begin by warming olive oil in a spacious stockpot over medium heat.

Toss in the chopped celery, diced carrots, quartered onion, and halved garlic, allowing them to sauté for about five minutes until they soften and release their delightful aroma.

When the time is up, strain the stock into a container, discarding the turkey carcass and vegetables.
