I am making two turkeys this year. My sister is a single mother of four. The fourth is the unemployed, alcoholic (4letter word here) boyfriend. I am cooking a spare turkey for her, freezing it in baggies for her to take out for supper. After I roasted the turkey, I boiled it to get the rest of the meat off the bone and make stock for myself. So, now that you have all that, here's the question...Can I freeze the stock in 1-cup portions to use in place of chicken stock in recipes? I have one of those mammoth muffin tins I can put the portions in and freeze. Could I then wrap them in foil? Would it lose anything in the freezing process?

I freeze my stock in tupperwares. I've used chicken and turkey stock interchangeably, and they work just fine. I've also made stock with a combination of chicken and turkey bones. Today, the stock I'm using is from a bag of chicken backs I had in the freezer and the turkey necks that I bought so I would have neck meat for my stuffing. |

I would NOT suggest using foil! I freeze mine just in a heavy duty freezer bag. Just make sure you leave room because it will expand as it freezes. I would try to use it in 3 to 6 months though cause it tends to get a freezer taste after a while.

I would suggest freezing it in an ice cube tray instead. That way you can twist the mold to get the cubes out and then just freeze the cubes in baggies.
