Report
This homemade turkey broth recipe is a turkey carcass, assorted vegetables, herbs and spices that are all simmered together with water to make a rich and flavorful broth. Turkey broth is great for soups, sauces and makes the absolute best gravy.

Instructions
- Place the broth ingredients in a large pot. Cover with cold water (at least 10 cups).
- Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, uncovered, for at least 3-4 hours or up to 6 hours, skimming the surface occasionally.
- Pour the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a container. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.
Notes
- This recipe makes a lightly salted broth, with a lower sodium content than you might find with store bought broth. If you prefer a saltier broth, you can add an extra teaspoon of salt, or simply add salt to taste when you season the final recipe in which you're using the broth.
- You should end up with about 8 cups of broth as an end result. The broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or frozen for 3 months.
- Sometimes I need a smaller amount of broth for recipes such as gravy, but I don't have a leftover carcass on hand. In those instances, I cut this recipe in half and use 2 pounds of raw turkey wings as a substitute for the carcass.
