Homemade Broth Recipe

Here is my homemade broth recipe..I use this now for in my soups instead of using bouillon or canned broth....

Homemade Broth

Round One Ingredients

1 turkey breast or whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry

1 cup apple wine or other fruit flavored wine

1 cup water

2 Tbsp onion powder

1 Tbsp garlic powder

1 tsp black pepper

Round Two Ingredients

Dark meat, skin and bones from cooked turkey or chicken

All drippings/liquids from Round One

6 cups plain water

2 stalks celery with leaves, chopped

2 onions,quartered

parsley flakes to taste

black pepper to taste

Round One:

In roaster pan, combine wine and water. Set aside.

In small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Rub this all under the skin and in the cavity. Set turkey breast or chicken cavity side up in the roaster pan.

Cover and bake per instructions on the wrapper. Allow to rest for 30 – 45 minutes before removing breast meat.

Round Two:

In large stock pot, combine all Round Two ingredients.

Bring to boil and simmer for 1-2 hours.

Remove large pieces and set aside for another boil if you like.

Strain broth thru cheese cloth or fine mesh strainer.

Cover and cool in refrigerator overnight. Skim fat off before dividing into serving size containers.

Freeze.

Repeat Round Two again if there is still marrow in the bones.

I portion these into 3-4 cup containers for use in soups or rice.

Note: Cooking this meat side down keeps breast meat nice and moist.
