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.

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.
