The way I have been feeling these last 2 days I have needed a comfort food.
Last week I made a very rich turkey broth (after being deprived of my beloved chicken soup). WF sells backs, necks, giblets and other parts. I bought a selection, roasted them with onions, carrots, garlic and onions for a couple of hours, poured off the fat, and scraped the drippings into the pot. Then I added the roasted bones/meat and veggies. This after cutting off some of the roasted meat for supper.
Then I simmered (being the operative word) all of this with a few more fresh veggies, some garlic and salt (I personally don't eat pepper) for a couple of hours. I drained off the broth and boiled it down to concentrate it, skimming it while I did so.
After cooling the jellied, concentrated, flavorful broth had almost no fat on it.
It's very good, though I prefer my chicken stock.
Yesterday Ralph's (Kroger) was selling russet potatoes for 99 cents for a 10 lb bag. Cant beat that.While I know that red and purple potatoes are better for me, russets make such nice mash.
I boiled the peeled potatoes in the broth, and then mashed them together with a fork. That turkey mash makes my belly feel so much better, it's easy to digest, and, once it's down, calms the GERD.
Comfort food!

Sounds like just what the doctor ordered, (so to speak).
