I\u2019m talking a few simple ingredients thrown into a large pot or slow cooker \u2026 then just set it and forget it!<\/p>\n<p><meta charset=\"UTF-8\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-turkey-carcass-bone-broth-recipe-for-dogs\">Turkey Carcass Bone Broth Recipe For Dogs<\/h2>\n<p>Use this easy to follow bone broth recipe to turn your turkey carcass into a super nutritious treat your dog will love!<\/p>\n<p>What you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Turkey carcass<\/li>\n<li>Beef marrow bones<\/li>\n<li>Chicken feet<\/li>\n<li>Garlic<\/li>\n<li>Water<\/li>\n<li>Organic apple cider vinegar<\/li>\n<li>Optional:\u00a0Grain Free Veggies or Hearty Express<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"h-step-1\">Step #1<\/h3>\n<p>Put your turkey carcass and your bones in your pot. I like to use beef marrow bones and chicken feet. The more joints you can add the better. This adds protective gelatin that comes from the cartilage in the bone joints.<\/p>\n<p>I also add a little garlic for flavor and because it\u2019s really good for your dog. You can choose to add it or leave it out.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-step-2\">Step #2<\/h3>\n<p>Now fill the pot with water until the carcass and the bones are completely covered by at least 2-3 inches. Then top it off with 3-4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-step-3\">Step #3<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re cooking in the pot, turn the heat to medium-high for an hour. Or you can use a slow cooker on high for an hour. After the hour has passed, turn the stove or slow cooker to low and let the bone broth cook for 24 hours.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-step-4\">Step #4<\/h3>\n<p>Once your turkey carcass bone broth is fully cooked,<strong> strain, strain, strain<\/strong>. You want to get all the pieces of bone out of the broth, so make sure to strain it well.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, you can also add some extras to boost the health factor. I usually add fresh broccoli, kale or green beans, as well as kelp or herbs. Add these when the broth is hot to soften them up a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you just want to keep it as simple as possible, don\u2019t add anything at all!<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-step-5\">Step #5<\/h3>\n<p>Let the bone broth cool and put it in the fridge for a few hours. Take it out and scrape the hard layer of fat off the top and toss it \u2026 your dog doesn\u2019t need that part!<\/p>\n<p>Under the fat, your bone broth should look like a big pot of jelly. That\u2019s what it\u2019s supposed to look like! This jelly is what\u2019s going to protect your dog\u2019s joints and gut.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry if the jelly just isn\u2019t there \u2026 this batch is still chock-full of healthy, delicious stuff, so feed it too! The reason it doesn\u2019t look like jelly is that you didn\u2019t add enough vinegar. Next time you make it, you can add another tablespoon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-infobox\" id=\"kt-info-box_963b1f-a7\">\n<meta charset=\"UTF-8\"\/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-step-6\">Step #6<\/h3>\n<p>Storage depends on how big your batch is and how much room you\u2019ve got in your fridge. You can either keep it in the pot and serve it to your dog over the next few days, or separate it into smaller containers.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t like to keep it in the fridge for more than a few days, so if you\u2019ve made a ton, just separate it into mason jars and put it in the freezer.<\/p>\n<p>At dinner time, spoon 2 or 3 good spoonfuls over your dog\u2019s dinner and watch him go crazy for the taste!<\/p>\n<p>Happy cooking!<\/p>\n<p>*dog&#8217;s naturally<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/happydogfood.com\/blogs\/news\/how-to-turn-a-turkey-carcass-into-bone-broth-recipe\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkey carcass bone broth is one of my absolute favorite recipes to make for my dogs.
