Turkey Bone Broth / Turkey & Rice Soup

Turkey Bone Broth/ Turkey & Rice Soup

Make your own Bone Broth

 from your Thanksgiving Turkey bones...

Instructions for Bone Broth: 

1. Place the turkey carcass ( I had a 12 lb bird) in a crock pot or a large soup pot. Cover it as much as possible with water. ...
2. Add 2-3 carrots, 2-3 celery, 1 onion, 4-5 garlic cloves, 2 Bay Leaves & 2-3 tsp of apple cider vinegar
3. Let it cook. For hours. ...(over night is best) I start off on High temperature in the slow cooker for 3-4 hours then switch to low temperature for remaining cooking time.
4. Strain broth through a strainer removing all leftover bone & veggies.
5. Strain a few more times through a strainer lined with cheese cloth.
6.  Place bone broth in mason jars.

I then used the Bone Broth to make

Turkey & Rice soup

Makes 4 servings.

1. Placed 4 mason jars full of bone broth( about 8 cups broth) in a Soup pot on med/low temperature.
2. Chop 2-3 carrots, 2-3 celery,  Dice 1 onion and add it to the broth. Add 1 bay leaf.
