Canning Turkey Broth

[kathy003]

Hi,

 

I cooked my turkey today and thought I would boil what is left over and make it into turkey broth. I have been skimming and straining, skimming and straining it now for a few hours, fat keeps rising to the top,, it seems like it's never ending! I looked in my Ball Blue Book and didn't see a recipe for turkey stock. Is this something that isn't approved? Or did I just get a super fatty turkey??

I boil(simmer) mine down all afternoon then cool and refrigerate it overnight.This causes the fat to rise to the top-next day I skim all of it off then heat the broth and can or freeze it depending on how much there is.

Indy Gal is correct, after it cools put it in the fridge overnight and skim the fat off the next day. Reheat and then can it like chicken broth.

ok, thanks! Once I started skimming, I wondered if you could even can turkey broth. I assumed it was like chicken, but you know what they say about people who assume! It's especially true when you can your own food.

 

Thanks for the advice
