You can make the most delicious, healthy bone broth, or turkey soup stock or broth, in your Crock Pot or slow cooker<\/a>. All you need is your leftover Thanksgiving turkey or another turkey, several vegetables, lots of water, and a day when you’re home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love my slow cooker. Slow cookers, also called by their brand name CrockPot\u00ae, use slow, gentle heat to cook food. The best ones, such as the CrockPot\u00ae brand ones, have a ceramic insert that you can easily remove and clean. I use my slow cooker to make pot roast, beef stroganoff, Chinese broccoli or cashew chicken, and many other dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But by far the best use I have found for my slow cooker is to make delicious, healthy bone broths or soup stocks. What is bone broth? Bone broth is a healing food made by simmering animal bones with water and vegetables. Basically, it’s soup stock. The slow cooking or simmering breaks the bones down so that vitamins and minerals leach into the cooking water. It tastes good and offers healthy, nourishing food. You can drink bone broth on its own or add cooked vegetables and pasta to make it into soup<\/a>. It’s a wonderful soup stock<\/a> to have on hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step, of course, is to have a cooked turkey available.  After Thanksgiving is a great time to try this recipe, because hopefully you’ve got a nicely carved turkey with just the bones and perhaps a little meat left. You can also use a roasted chicken for this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
