Dried Turkey Stock

Dried turkey stock is made by simmering turkey bones and meat, then concentrating the liquid by evaporating water. The resulting concentrated liquid is then dried, often into a powder or granulated form. This process intensifies the turkey flavor and makes it shelf-stable.

Manufacturers add dried turkey stock to enhance the savory, meaty flavor of foods. It is commonly used in processed meats, soups, gravies, sauces, and seasonings. Its concentrated form allows for easy incorporation and consistent flavor delivery.

Dried turkey stock is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for dried turkey stock are not widely publicized. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
