Thanksgiving Leftovers from Scratch

Don't let your leftovers go to waste! Especially don't throw away that turkey carcass and any leftovers or drippings - you can turn all of that into beautiful, nutritious, turkey bone broth. Plus, there are so many delicious turkey leftover dishes - I'm sharing one of my favorites with you today

In this video, I'm canning 4 gallons worth of turkey bone broth from one 20 lb turkey! The cheapest I was able to find organic turkey bone broth online was $4.63/qt. If I were to buy 4 gallons of organic turkey bone broth it would cost $75! Now, if I were to buy pastured organic broth it would be $14/qt. So I actually canned $225 worth of broth. So really, it's worth your time and effort. And if you don't can, you can just freeze your broth in gallon Ziploc bags.

Turkey Bone Broth Recipe: not a precise recipe, just use everything you didn't eat from your turkey - bones, skin, drippings, organs, all of it. Add the entire carcass to a big stock pot along with any onions, lemons, apples, herbs, or anything you filled the cavity with. Add a few crushed garlic cloves to the stock pot, a tablespoon of salt, and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and then fill the pot with water until the entire carcass is covered. Simmer on low for 12 hours then strain and store. You can freeze it in plastic bags or pressure can. And yes, this does need to be pressure canned, you can't water bath can bone broth. Process quarts for 25 minutes at 11PSI and half gallons for 36 minutes at 11PSI.

Once. carrots are soft, add turkey, seasonings, broth, and cream. Simmer for 20 minutes, add cheese. Simmer for another 10 minutes, then use a spoon to drop the dumplings in.
