Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner – Turkey Broth

Turkey Broth

You’ll be thankful you took the time to make it turkey broth after Thanksgiving. Sometimes I make this  the day after, and sometimes I put the carcass in a two gallon zip lock freezer bag and make it a month or so later. I place the broth in freezer containers and it’s there waiting for me to make the best ever soups. Do the same and enjoy the results.

 

Check out the menu below for Thanksgiving recipes .

​Servings:  12    Serving size:  1 cup   Preparation time: 15 minutes  ​Cook time: 3-4 hours




Ingredients 2.5 pound turkey carcass  Water to cover (about 4 quarts) 1/4 cup vinegar 1 cup onion, coarsely chopped 1 cup celery, coarsely chopped 1 medium carrot, coarsely chopped ​1 bunch fresh parsley 2 pieces bay leaf             1 teaspoon peppercorns 1 teaspoon whole cloves

Directions ​1. Put carcass in 6-to 8-quart stockpot.  Add the water and vinegar.  Add all the other ingredients.   2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 to 4 hours.   3. Cool broth 1 hour. Discard carcass. Strain and discard vegetables and herbs.   4. Refrigerate overnight.   5. Skim off fat and use within 3 days (refrigerated) or freeze in serving-size containers (1-2 cups).  Broth can be frozen up to 2-3 months.
