Poultry Bone Broth 

• 10 poultry necks, rib cages, wings, feet
• 2 large onions
• 2 large carrots
• 6 celery stalks
• 1/2 cup cider vinegar
• 4 bay leaves
• Water to cover

Add all of the ingredients to an appropriately sized pot and simmer on low heat for 24 to 48 hours.

Cool the broth, strain through a fine mesh sieve and place in a container to refrigerate overnight. The next day, you should see that a layer of fat has risen to the top of your stock. Leaving it in or skimming it off is a matter of personal preference, but know that the fat does offer some nutritional value and can be used to add flavor to dishes like soup or sautéed veggies.
