Notes
This recipe is for 8 cups of bone broth.
You can substitute the chicken bones for turkey bones if you want to make turkey bone broth.
Extra broth should be stored in an airtight container. I recommend separating your broth into 1- or 2-cup servings. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 year.
