Am I a nutjob for using root vegetables (generally rutabaga or maybe turnip) in my chicken stock along with the carrot, leek, and celery?

 

Nope. I put a turnip in mine.  Love the earthy undertone.  Nobody would ever "taste turnip," just the interesting saveur...

I use your basic 3, onions,carrots,celery. But here are a few tips/tricks ive learned over the years. #1 If you like hot wings and make them often like i do, save the wing tips and freeze them to add for chicken stock. Its one of the best sources for gelatin and for me its free. #2 When you buy a head of celery seperate the stalks and cut the top section off (the section with the leaves) save the leafy section and freeze to use in making stock. Keep the stalks in a tall container filled with ice water, it keeps in the fridge for weeks and stays crisp, maybe even more crisp then when it was bought.
