Easy Healing Turkey/Chicken Bone Broth Recipe

I have grown to love bone broth! I was buying it at the store, but once I made it myself there was no going back. There is a HUGE difference and it’s so easy to make. I will never throw away another carcass again! I just made the most delicious bone broth from my Thanksgiving turkey but this recipe works for chicken too.

Why Bone Broth?

Bone broth is packed with collagen and nutrients. It’s like a healthier broth. The compounds glycosaminoglycans in the bone broth promote healing of body tissue, while the broth can also benefit your immune system and gut. Some of the nutrients you will get include B vitamins and minerals such as potassium, iron, zinc and phosphorus.

Since I brined my turkey with a ton of salt I did not add any, but if you want to add some Himalayan salt feel free to do so. Just be careful not to over-salt. I also brined my turkey with herbs such as rosemary, thyme and sage. Feel free to add herbs as you see fit. You can also use a lemon peel instead of orange but a friend clued me in to this trick which adds a lovely flavor.
