I made a turkey over the weekend and decided to do something I'd never done before-- make stock with the leftover carcass.

I boiled the carcass in some chicken broth with some carrots, celery and onion- there wasn't much skin. I cooled it and put in the fridge over night thinking I'd skim off the fat then freeze the stock for later soups. Although there was a layer of congealed fat on top the next day I was surprised to see "the stock" looked like, and had the consistency of, opaque brown jello!

What did I do wrong?{#emotions_dlg.blushing}
