Turkey Bone Broth

10 ingredients
4 steps

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. 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. 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. 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. 4
    (I use recipe to derive broth then add vegetables and/or meat to make a wholesome soup/stew).
