Prepping - Making Bone Broth and Bone Meal

Rather than throw out all those bones from the turkey, make something useful. Your garden will love it! You can do this with any kind of bones too! A good thing to remember throughout the year!

Here is a tip I use. You don't have to run your oven to cook your bones. I wait until I have finished using the oven, put my bones in and turn it off. The residual heat will dry the bones out. Occasionally I have had to put them in for a second time, but usually once works. This way you are not having to use the oven, and thus saving fuel (or propane etc).

[@PinballPreparedness]

Great tip!

[@smallfamilysmallbudget1817]

Thank you! This will help for when we are saving on energy cost!

[@carkarlaw]

I do that for my herbs. I air dried and pop into oven (after a meal is cooked). I will try bone meal and broth together next.

[@cjblack5925]

Brilliant!

[@GinaOzarks]

Add apple cider vinegar to the water. It draws all the collagen out of the bones. Made mine today!

[@INSIDERUSSIA]

This is the first time I hear you can utilise and cook bones )

[@PinballPreparedness]

They are a high calcium/phosphorus fertilizer.

[@monalisa2662]

I was told I have COVID a day before Thanksgiving. My family was split up to four different locations (I have eight children) and I spent Thanksgiving alone. I was brought bone broth today by my brother and it was such a blessing as I have not been able to eat many solids. I feel like the broth breathed life back into me. Thank you for sharing this information. No doubt it is a lifeline to others as well. God bless those who may be suffering with COVID to find this information to nourish and strengthen their bodies.

[@kedeglow2743]

I'll pray for you! May the Lord heal you quickly!

[@All-Those-Rosenbergers]

I will pray for a quick recovery! I have six children and we just had covid end of September. I was the worse, of course, so my sweet mother came over to take on my role with my then 8 mo. My husband was sick as well, but on the upswing by the time the worst hit for me. Praying for you - Covid is rough, but made worse when you have children!

[@unicornhollowhomestead]

I leave a carcass/bones on low in the crockpot for at least 24 hours for bone broth. I used to do three or four hours but it makes a much more rich broth when you simmer longer. I’ve never made bone meal, thank you so much for showing us how!

[@judyrose7828]

Bone meal can also be added to the chicken feed to boost calcium.

[@PinballPreparedness]

Very true!

[@daze4341]

No sir your next step is to pick up those bone pieces , if Mrs. Pinball is like Mrs.Daze, you know its true 🤣🤣🤣

[@PinballPreparedness]

Actually she grabbed them while I was filming. We are one helluva team!

[@stevenlindsey2056]

Bone broth works wonders for your joints,skin,hair,and your gut.

[@121homestead9]

I’ve been looking for bone meal for a couple of weeks and cannot find nearby….this video has made me so happy, thanks from my whole family

[@debkay1160]

I have a 20 lb turkey I need to cook cause I don’t have room in my freezer for it and I got it free from the store and I will be making bone meal with the bones when I am all done with my turkey.

[@PinballPreparedness]

That is awesome!

[@rosezingleman5007]

“Every little bit helps,” is what my parents always said. We’re not forming good habits of thrift if we don’t do things like this.

[@cherylbishop7657]

You made some very good broth. However : True Bone broth. : bones , for every 1lb of bones add 1 tb vinegar & cook 8 hrs to 3 days ...the longer you cook it the better it is & at the end of cooking the bones are easily crushed. You can also use pressure canning ( instapot ) for 3 hrs or so. GOD BLESS

[@PinballPreparedness]

I just use it for Turkey noodle soup.

[@deniwest57]

I cook mine on high in Crock-Pot for 3 days with a big splash of vinegar. Amazing! If you only get one or two bones at a time just gather in a bag in the freezer until enough for a batch.

[@lauranewell3197]

I don't add any vinegar to mine and it's been cooking for a few days in the crockpot so far

[@GratiaHomestead]

Vinegar is key! When making bone broth I cook poultry bones for 3 days on low in my crockpot, and beef bones cook for 5 days. At the end even large beef bones will crumble in my hand.

[@All-Those-Rosenbergers]

@@lauranewell3197 the vinegar is used to draw out the various minerals in the bones more easily, but definitely not a requirement! Any homemade bone broth is better than the store stuff!

[@jamestboehm6450]

Don't forget your egg shells, they usually are good for 2 yrs or so.

[@PinballPreparedness]

Oh, I save those too. If you saw the fertilizer video I did a week or so ago.

[@2JobsStillPoorUSA]

This shows how folks did back before we became a consumer/throw away society. Nice work.

[@kentuckyhome6637]

Well that's cool and I will be doing it as I already bummed my brother's turkey carcass from his family dinner tomorrow. I roasted off a turkey last weekend and boiled the remaining carcass for several hours to make broth for my dogs. Had a lot left over that I canned last year and didn't think I needed to can anymore turkey broth. So I cooled the broth and skimmed off the fat and I was left with turkey bits and a nice thick collagen gel. My animals act like it's manna from heaven when I warm it up and pour a little over their dry kibble (and these kids get canned food every evening for a treat.) So thanks PB~just another way to use what we've got and I like that!! As little waste as possible. God bless. ~~Laura

[@Bloodhoundjed1]

My granddog (who lives with me) mainly gets dry dog food and loves it, when I open a can of chicken, to make me some chicken salad. I save the juice from the can and mix it with his dog food, enough to do it twice. Of course he did get a couple of pieces of turkey for Thanksgiving.

[@sherryconnor1266]

How long do you can it for?

[@OldWaysGardeningandPrepping]

On the stovetop or crockpot bones need to simmer for at least 24 hours for bone broth. In pressure canner only 2 hours. Your bones were not completely dry why they didn't powder down finer. 🍀

[@Fox3905F]

That is great! $3 bucks savings is still worth it. Currently making broth! We need to learn to use every last scrap again. Thank you

[@lindas9806]

It's more than $3 worth where I live

[@kentuckyhome6637]

That $3 bucks will buy 3 lbs of beans, or 6 lbs of rice.......6 cans of peas, 3 jars of pasta sauce, shall I go on? $3 bucks can mean A LOT!!

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

We have a big stock pot of it simmering on the stove right now I’ve strained all the big chunk out of it and already given it to the chickens and we are going to let it simmer for most of the night. 2 turkeys and 2 chickens, good stuff

[@susang.6670]

Thank you so much! I make bone broth in my Instant Pot but never thought about bone meal. I just came back from our local grocery store where I got a12 lb.. turkey for $3.00 on clearance.

[@PinballPreparedness]

Thats awesome!

[@kedeglow2743]

Good morning Mr. PB! You've inspired me to take it a step farther today! I roasted two turkeys this year, so my DD could have plenty of leftover meat to take home with her. Yesterday I put both carcasses into my roaster with some vegetable skins and peelings I've saved in the freezer and cooked it all day and last night. This morning I scooped out 5 quarts of broth. I could've gotten more broth out, but I decided to can all the "ookey stuff" up for my preps for my dog. Having watched this video, I'm going to try my hand at bone meal, but I think I'm going to leave the bones in the dehydrator to dry them out. Going to hit the thrift store for a used blender (nope,...not using the Vitamix for this!). P.S. Thank you for no fingers in the blender---we like you with all digits firmly attached! I'm sure Mrs. PB feels the same.

[@PinballPreparedness]

Dehydrator would work too. NO, dont use an expensive one.

[@Freedom-em3zb]

Hey Pinball thank you showing this. This will be my next project. Got that deer in jars today. 😋

All resources are important and learning to use them is the key to being able to flip the switch when it goes dark. These videos offer some really good concepts and I try to keep up. Currently making refractory bricks to build a masonry stove in my basement. No more high heat bill’s for me! Keep those videos rolling😉

[@ralphkarschner2616]

Thanks Pinball you made that very simple for us. I think of all the bones I threw out over the years

[@christophermeyer3980]

Never thought about bone meal for your garden, good tip. What I do with the carcass is boil it down remove the bones and cartilage and throw in some potatoes, carrots, celery, and egg noodles, makes a great pot of soup. When I was a kid when mom made turkey soup we knew that the bird was finely gone. I will be making bone meal this time...Thanks

[@g-maprepper972]

Thanks Pinball! I always make bone broth with my turkey, chicken and ham! Now I will be making bone meal as well.

[@Bloodhoundjed1]

Sitting here drinking my coffee, and waiting for the rain to come in, on this cool morning, 48 degrees now. I wished I had saved my turkey bones. But will have to remember next time, to try this. Thank you for sharing.

[@ericcawith2cs11]

We harvested our own meat chickens this year. I will be making bone meal all winter now! Thanks Pinball!

[@1erinjames]

I learned my "something new" today! Thank for the bone meal info!!

[@lindamyers953]

If you put vinegar ( maybe 1\4 cup) in the crock pot while you're making bone broth, you can literally pulverize the bones with your fingers when it is done. I cook mine at least24 hours.

[@KatheeRN]

I was so excited when U said U were going to do this. I couldn't attend to my garden soil like I usually do, because in April I had a double lumbar fusion. My soil was depleted of just about everything. My Ex did plant the veggies for me. Needless to say, next year I'll be adding turkey bone meal so my tomatoes do better than last year. TY for this...

[@patches1483]

I hope you feel better.

I tried your idea for fertilizer i put all my elephant ears n tomato n pepper plants in 5 gallon buckets. N covered till spring. We will see. Thanks for the tip sir

[@dothehokeypokeyandgetbusy6359]

If things are scarce for gardens next spring, we will all be happy we appreciate the bones and use them.

[@voodooqueen322]

Bone meal for the garden, don't judge me but perfect way to get rid of that invasive perimeter invasion and your garden will benefit too. JS Yes it is a gruesome thought but you have to dispose the leftovers anyway. Back to reality, I strain my broth and pressure can it up! It flavors so many soups and casseroles. Sorry had a really weird moment.

[@The-Grateful-Hippie]

I use the instant pot to make broths and bone broth. This year I spatchcocked the turkey, and I put the neck, back and the tail in the instant pot to make broth for the gravy and the dressing. I can add the rest of the drippings later to the gravy when I put the leftovers away. Now I wished I had kept those bones too! But oh well now I know better.

[@willowkat5764]

I have the turkey carcass in the freezer. I use my Instant Pot to make broth. Chicken broth I also throw the feet in as well. Didn’t know how to make bone meal. Thank you for the tip.

[@cajunmilkcows6491]

If you make your bone broth in a pressure cooker, the bones disintegrate.

[@PinballPreparedness]

Yes. They will soften and dissolve.

[@IMOO1896]

I had a great pot of chicken, veggie broth for soup sitting in my sink while it cooled. My daughter came along and washed her hands over the pot🙁. How many blenders to you burn out every year? Next time when the sides quit moving, stop and push down the sides and shake up the contents. You’ll get much better result and not burn up your blender.

[@PinballPreparedness]

OH NO!

After skimming off the fats and straining out the meat and the bones, I oven dry the broth to make "pocket soup". I guess it's also called bone broth 😅

Adding vinegar to bones helps pull marrow from bones!! Mary's Nest shows how to make broth.

[@georgeball8116]

If you can find it BLOOD meal works wonders for tomato plants. I tried it few yrs ago my plants shot up like a rocket. Blossom rot is what I have problems with every yr seems like. Plenty of tomatoes they just rot on the vine b4 mature

[@PinballPreparedness]

Yes, Blood meal is high in Nitrogen. Bone meal is for Potassium and Calcium. If you are getting blossom end rot then you have a calcium deficiency in the soil.

[@able880]

I often get 10 pound bags of chicken thighs - I had a commercial cooking food service company - I serviced cooking equipment in many high end 5 star restaurants - They would cook 60 gallons of chicken bones for 24 hours to make bone broth - they would cook the bones till they could be crushed with there fingers - I save my chicken bones in the freezer till I have enough bones to top off my instant pot - then fill it to the top with water and pressure cook them eight hours - At that point you can squeeze a bone and it will crush - I strain the bone broth and then crush the bones up with a potato masher & fill the pot with hot water again and pressure cook it 4 more hours - and strain the broth again - I can it in pint jars - in my case it makes about 12 pints of high end restaurant grate broth - As for the bone meal I dehydrated it - it makes about a quart of dehydrated bone meal - I put it in a jar and dry charge it - I treat my dogs with dehydrated bone meal -

Katzcradul recommended, years ago, to keep multiple blender pitchers for various uses. Since the bones, like egg shells, would dull the blades. I save and crush my egg shells, veggie trimmings become compost after I've finished making broth.
