Smiles And Trials 11.30.19 Turkey Bone Broth

I hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!   So, what is next?  Well I know your first thought is all of the sales here, there and everywhere.  Although, my first thought is Turkey Bone Broth!!

Smiles of the day:  My first batch of broth is done and cooling.  A few days work will give me bone broth for many, many months.

Trials of the day:  Hot, Hot fingers…  I thought the broth was cooled enough, and once I picked the liner up and started straining into the jars, yeah, realized it was NOT cooled enough.  There was no way to stop once I started.

I smoked a 12 pound turkey and split the bones into 2 batches for the broth.  First with the mid section of the bird, second with wing and leg bones.

Easy bone broth recipe your crock pot does most of the work, until it comes to freezing time.

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In an 8 quart crock pot put in the turkey bones, ginger juice, or fresh ginger, bragg apple cider vinegar, then fill with water.
  2. Cook on low setting for 24-36 hours.
  3. Let cool, then strain.
  4. Separate one or two cups at a time into freezer bags disposable / or reusable
  5. Stack flat onto a cookie sheet and freeze

 

These two batches will give me 36 cups of stock.  I separate in 1 cup and 2 cups per ziploc or reusable plastic bags.   Then lay flat and stack on a cookie sheet in the freezer over night and you have a thin skinny stacking frozen broth by morning.  With this much broth, I need to save as much room in the freezer as possible, and I like this process.

I enjoy having the broth in my freezer for cooking meats to add a flavor and have sauce for gravy.  Or for making soup.  Defrost, add whatever vegetables you want, and some protein.  Or just have the broth, nice and warm on a cold winter afternoon.
