Ingredients

    Bones from turkey after meat has been removed

    Water to cover bones

Directions

After removing the meat from the bones, break the back/breast bone down as much as possible. Put all the leftover bones into a pan and cover with water. Check them after half hour, then every 15 mins or so. Make sure you have plenty of water so they don't boil dry.

When the water is white, it's now broth. The whiter it is, the stronger the broth. Pour off the water/broth into a bowl. Let it set and the fat will rise to the top. Skim it off. Pour the broth into baggies and freeze in portions to suit you.

I usually repeat the boiling 3 or 4 times, depending if the water is still turning white and making a good broth.

We use this for gravy, boiling noodles for soups, soups, stews, etc. I add seasoning when I use it. One cups size package will season boiling noodles, etc., just as boullion would.

The nutrient information is from another Spark Person and is estimated. Information could not be found elsewhere.
