A lot of people make turkey broth after Thanksgiving…

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I post a picture and just a few words.

…but most people probably don’t wait until quite this long after Thanksgiving.

turkey broth in August

The good news is, I think I have now used all the poultry bones that were hanging out in my freezer.

And fortunately, I have a manual-defrost chest freezer, so even turkey bones from last Thanksgiving are still in pretty decent by August.   😉

    I had pork bones in my chest freezer for *years* before I finally made it into stock. I think the butcher gave me several pigs' worth of bones in my last order because I had 25 lbs waiting for me.

    Good thing I concentrate my stock because I had 3 quarts of stock even at 75% concentration.

    Yep, as long as you leave enough headspace for the liquid to expand as it freezes.

    We definitely didn't wait that long last year to make the stock...but then again we had 3 carcasses to play with! Homemade stock is the best. Chest freezer was the best purchase of last year, was able to buy the turkeys at great prices and didn't worry about finding a place to keep 'em frozen.
