These pictures show a very full crockpot because it was two full turkey carcasses in there!!!<BR/><BR/>Kimberlee--I do always throw in the neck. I figure it has bones in it. I don't put in the giblets because they're meat (dog gets those), but the neck is more bone than not...so yeah, I put it in.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279308378287322473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-85550901387329457512008-11-30T18:16:00.000-09:002008-11-30T18:16:00.000-09:00Can you use the Turkey Neck?

From now on, I will be freezing our bones until I have enough to fill the crockpot.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753847168007127855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-64487430253967675332008-11-30T10:17:00.000-09:002008-11-30T10:17:00.000-09:00My favorite way to store broth is to reduce it dow...My favorite way to store broth is to reduce it down to 1/8 of the original amount (after skimming off all the fat). Then I store it in an old peanut butter jar in the freezer and can take out 2 Tbsp. and reconstitute it to make 1 cup of broth every time I need it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the vinegar tip! I'm going to do that the next time I make broth (which I call "garbage soup").Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012260724688668304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-9536553095128071722008-11-29T15:34:00.000-09:002008-11-29T15:34:00.000-09:00Mmmmm, I have a giant bowl of turkey broth cooling...Mmmmm, I have a giant bowl of turkey broth cooling on my counter. It's heading to the freezer this year because I wasn't thinking and put the canner in the storage unit. I do NOT feel like going in and finding it! LOL<BR/>One of my most frustrating cooking moments was when I roasted a beautiful, free range, local chicken and hubs <I>threw away</I> the bones! Horror!<BR/>The other night we had lentil soup made simply with ham broth, lentils, carrots, bay and salt/pepper. Delish.<BR/>Oh, and I've made broth with pork bones, but I usually mix it with other bones for better flavor.RasJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14454319137509784348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-51633236859467473052008-11-28T15:51:00.000-09:002008-11-28T15:51:00.000-09:00I do this with leftover rotissere chicken and any ...I do this with leftover rotissere chicken and any past-their-prime-but-not-yet-rotten veggies I have in my crisper.
