Homemade Turkey Broth – easy crockpot method!
If you haven’t made turkey broth from your Thanksgiving turkey carcass & neck bones, you’ve got to try my easy Overnight Turkey Broth …. I call the stuff “liquid gold”
I could drink this homemade broth daily and never tire of it! This tastes nothing like the store bought broth. Turkey broth that you buy from the store, Oh my, I do not know what on earth they do to it, but it is not good! I mean it’s not even drinkable! It is awful! Now yes, I do buy chicken broth & beef broth from the store and its fine, but turkey broth – – no way, its bad news, I cant even drink it. So I am going to share my recipe for the best homemade turkey broth you ever tasted and how to easily make it in the crockpot, overnight, with out any work!
This overnight crock pot method just makes this so simple! Many people just throw out the wings & legs, and the turkey carcass, afterwards. But Oh My, you can make some of the most tasty, delicious & healthy broth ever, from all those good bones!
I truly only recommend using quality turkey bones, from a farm or source that is reputable. If you happen to live in West Michigan, we have several great farms that raise healthy wonderful birds! One of my favorite farms is Ottos Turkey Farm in Middleville. Remember we always want to use quality bones when making any bone broths.
One More Helpful Tip: If you love turkey broth as much as I do, here’s the tip. You can go to the turkey farm and purchase packages of just wings and just necks, without needing the whole turkey carcass and those will make great broth. You can also throw those packages in the freezer, to make broth later, so easily, like on a cold snowy afternoon!
So here’s how to make easy peasy, no-think, “Overnight Turkey Broth” in the crock pot!
Okay, Let’s make some nourishing liquid gold to sip on, its perfect using the weeks after Thanksgiving!
Easy Overnight Turkey Broth
Ingredients
- 1 Turkey carcass – so after you cleaned off all the meat and dinner is over! (or put it in the frig and do this broth the next day!)
- 1 Neck bone – if you have it, throw it in, if you don’t, skip it. Its not necessary. But this is a great place to use up that neck bone, that you don’t know what to do with!
- Add any other turkey bones – like those wings that no one ever eats, and they have that crispy skin on, yep toss them in.
- 1 onion - cut in quarters
- 1 tablespoon Celtic or Himalayan sea salt.
Instructions
Put Turkey carcass, neck bone and other turkey bones in a large crock pot.
Now add 1 onion cut in quarters. 1 tablespoon Celtic or Himalayan sea salt.
Now last you fill your crock pot up with good healthy water (no chlorinated water). That’s all! Yes that’s all you need, right there.
Put the lid on and set it on low for 24 -30 hours.
Note: You can also add a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar (I do) to the crockpot, it helps pull out more collagen, nutrients & minerals from the bones, therefor making the broth even more abundant in collagen and rich with minerals. Which is what we want! (A splash is about 1/4 cup or so 🙂
I love crock pot season! Can’t wait to try this.
