PictureTurkey 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.

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
