Nothing To Waste

Let the leftovers begin.
So, since for whatever reason no one in our family likes to deal with making homemade broth/stock, I usually get to take home the turkey carcass, and this year was no different.
They tend to leave a lot of meat on it as well, which is a plus. And believe me when I tell you I strip the bones clean as a whistle.
So, right now I have a pot simmering, getting all the bits of meat and goodness from the turkey carcass, and of course added some additional ingredients to add to the flavor like onions and peppers, carrots, celery and what have you. The only shame is the only thing I keep is the meat and the broth, but pretty much throw away all of the vegetable ingredients.
Tomorrow I will make a soup out of it.

It was. It turned out very good. I always like to make my broths the day before the soup since it helps to marinate the flavors, and even when it comes to soup you know what they say. It's always better the second day and fantastic the third day. We wound having to freeze some I made so much of it.

When the bones are clean I give them a quick roast in a very hot oven the boil them for bone broth. I would consider pureeing those veggies to add as a thickener to soups.

It sounds yummy, but why do you throw away the veggies?

I did this for the extra broth I needed for the dressing and gravy, then the dogs got what was left of the bones and they were still happy.

That sounds delicious! I am planning to make tortilla soup with a whole chicken that I got for less than $4 a couple of months ago (and froze) later in the week. I had all of the ingredients necessary except for fresh cilantro and avocado so I picked them up over the weekend. Looking forward to it!
