Envious of your ability to get turkeys cheap... I guess I have to wait a month or so. I guess the calories depend a bit of whether you skimmed of the fat or not.

For the next batch, weigh the turkey and other ingredients. I use USDA's database fdc.nal.usda.gov to get food values and Recipes.sparkpeople.com to evaluate nutrition of recipes.

Gz9gig, I said turkey. broth, No turkey in it. Nothing to weigh. Just broth that is gelatinized in water.

Liv001 yup I took most of the fat off. I get enough fat other places . I just wanted the broth. And Thanksgiving is one day here when most people eat a big meal in the afternoon. I don't have family so I'll just eat my soup 😃

That is a good question. I wonder how much fat and protein would be in just the homemade broth. The packaged kind generally has 1-2 gram of fat per cup. Maybe it’s just sodium content affecting you.

Sorry if I mis-understood - I thought you cooked a turkey in water to make broth? What did you do with the the meat? Put the meat into a strainer, let it drain into the broth. When drained, weigh it and subtract its food value from the whole turkey values.

It will be one of those guess things. I would go with 50 per cup

Liv01, thanks, that's what I thought. I went by how many calories are in gelatin and add some for fat I didn't skim. It's great 👍

@jenjabba - Yeah I would go with the 50 per cup. Even if you are off a bit, a 'reasonable estimation' is just as good as an 'exact measurement' because we really don't know exactly how much our body absorbs anyway...
