we had a houseful on Christmas day. family and friends filled our home, along with laughter and the occasional nap :). we bought two turkey's in hopes to have enough meat...thankfully we did.
before I continue please know that thanks to Laura@heavenlyhomemakers and her awesome idea of cooking the turkey ahead of time, my whole day wasn't spent stressing over birds, but spent enjoying our company and our food. anyhow, onto the blog post.
after deboning the birds, the bones and all the 'extras' were put in a HUGE roaster along with some water and a dash or two of ACV (apple cider vinegar) and set on low. they cooked and cooked and cooked and after cooling and straining...viola! turkey broth!
sweet right?
aren't they beautiful? I must admit that after the canning and cooling process I lined them up in order to take a picture for my blog and I found myself smiling and giggling. some don't know the true joy of homemade canned turkey broth, but I do. I had visions of soups, casseroles and whatever else I can put it in dancing through my head.
after labeling/dating them all, I carefully put them downstairs in our basement/pantry, and there they sit, waiting to be used.
what did you do with your bird and your leftovers?
