Cooking for disease prevention
Tip for cooking for disease prevention: If you had leftovers turkey, chicken, or bovine bones make a bone broth. The bone broth is a nutrient dense food that will nourish anyone suffering from malnutrition due to absorption problems. Yes, it does not need chewing and it will enter the intestinal wall much faster. Bone broth is also reach in collagen that helps support connective tissues and bones. Super simple and easy to make. You will need a crockpot large enough to hold the bones from a 10 pound turkey. Please note to produce collagen like the photo below, you must roast the bones in the oven first. The roasted bones are used as indicated in the recipe below. To make this bone broth, the leftover turkey bones were used to make the broth and no roasting of bones was necessary.
Ingredients:
Leftover bones from a turkey (about 5#-10#) (or any other animal bones)
Filter water to fill the crockpot 3/4 of the way.
Herb of choice optional (I use a small sprig of rosemary and thyme)
Turn the electrical crockpot to high power and set it for 12 hours of cooking. My crockpot was running all night, when the timer goes off, the low setting will start to keep the food cooking at a safe temperature until ready to use.
Next, turn off crockpot and strain all bones and herbs. Transfer the broth to a container to cool and then store in the refrigerator until ready to use or freeze in containers until ready to use. If malnutrition is an issue, then drink a 8 oz. cup of warm broth everyday.
