Magnesium has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, and selenium prevents the development of cancer. Cooking broth is not difficult at all. You will need only 500 grams of poultry meat to prepare it. To cook a fattier broth, choose drumsticks. And if you prefer a healthier first course option, use fillet when cooking.

Turkey broth - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute chicken for turkey to make a lighter broth. Adjust cooking time slightly (chicken may cook faster, so check after 40-50 minutes).
Store cooled broth in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
For a vegetarian version, omit the turkey and use vegetables like mushrooms, celery, and leeks for depth of flavor. Simmer for 45-60 minutes.
Freeze in portion-sized containers or ice cube trays for up to 3 months. Leave 1-inch headspace for expansion. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
Skimming foam removes impurities and results in a clearer, cleaner-tasting broth. Use a spoon or fine mesh skimmer for best results.
Absolutely! Celery, garlic, parsley stems, or parsnips add great flavor. Add them with the onions and carrots in Step 3.
For deeper flavor, roast the turkey bones and vegetables briefly before simmering, or add a splash of apple cider vinegar to extract more nutrients from the bones.
Use it as a base for soups, risottos, gravies, or to cook grains like quinoa. It adds great flavor to mashed potatoes or stuffing too.
