Description
A comforting and nutritious turkey bone broth, perfect for warm family gatherings and nourishing meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- Turkey bones (carcasses or leftover bones from a roasted turkey)
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, whole
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1–2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- Water
- Optional: Sautéed mushrooms (shiitake or oyster) for added flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Bones: Ensure the turkey bones are clean and free of excess fat. Optionally, roast them in the oven for 30 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery; cook until softened.
- Add Garlic and Herbs: Toss in the whole garlic cloves and herbs, sautéing them until fragrant.
- Combine Everything: Add turkey bones, cover with water, and add apple cider vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Skim and Reduce: Skim off foam and let the broth simmer for at least 240 to 360 minutes (4 to 6 hours).
- Strain and Store: Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and discard solids. Cool before storing.
- Enjoy: Use immediately in recipes or store in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for later use.
Notes
Avoid using too much water; just enough to cover the bones and vegetables is ideal. Taste the broth during cooking to adjust seasoning.
