"This is a savory turkey bone broth you can make from the carcass of a roasted turkey. Make it in advance and store it to use in meals, soups, and stews. Modified Kettle & Fire recipe."

 

• Ready In: 10hrs 10mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 5 Quarts

ingredients

• 1 turkey carcass, from a roasted bird (OK to have some meat and skin attached to the bones)
• 1 turkey giblets
• 1 large onion, coarsely chopped (or quartered)
• 6 garlic cloves, smashed
• 1 cup parsley (1 small bunch) (optional)
• 1 orange peel (optional) or 1 lemon peel (optional)
• 2 bay leaves (optional)
• 7 quarts filtered water
• 2 carrots, rough cut (optional)
• 2 celery ribs, rough cut (optional)

directions

1. Place the turkey carcass and giblets in a large stockpot. Add the onion, garlic, parsley, orange peel, and bay leaves, and cover with cold water.
2. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 8-10 hours (can use slow cooker for the long simmer on low).
3. Discard the solids and strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large container. Ladle the broth into mason jars. Once it’s cool, you’ll be able to remove the fat on the surface easily with a spoon. Enjoy and refrigerate or freeze the leftovers for later.
4. (I use recipe to derive broth then add vegetables and/or meat to make a wholesome soup/stew).
