Two turkeys, totaling about 36 pounds – and we used pretty much every part of them! Twelve for Thanksgiving dinner. Then leftovers for six the next day. Then had turkey and noodles and sandwiches for a couple days, and still have some left for creamed turkey over rice tonight! Made some homemade dog food, scrappy stuff and skins to the chickens…. (I know, it doesn’t seem right, but they loved it, and at least it wasn’t chicken!) I then slow cooked all the bones for a day and a half for some wonderful, gut-healing, health promoting bone broth. Even canned six quarts of it besides what I have in the fridge. What’s left of the bones have been buried in the garden to compost. I’d say we got every penny out of the approximate $26 I spent! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with those you love.
