Notes

Bone broth has been shown to heal a “leaky” gut and boost your immune system because it contains healing nutrients that are easily used by your body.

Whenever I cook a chicken, or turkey, I immediately use the bones to make a broth. Each recipe will make about 3 quarts, so I freeze it in 2 cup sandwich bags, so I have bone broth on hand at all times.

I don’t season the broth as I make it since I use it in a variety of dishes, but feel free to add salt and pepper if you are going to be using it right away.
