We raise our own chickens for meat. Feathers to compost, entrails to the raptors, chicken to the freezer, bones to make stock. At that point, the bones are crumbly. I strain the solids and can the stock. Solids go into the compost pile.
Waste not want not. I did wonder is it an organic turkey? If it's not, wondering if the turkey may have consumed pesticide/glyphosate ridden food while alive and could that then show up in the garden? the glyphosate which stay's in soil for a very long time.

wow, what a fantastic idea!
Oh yeah. My dad got a deer 🦌 so I buried the awful in the garden and put a little lime on it then planted my garlic.
brilliant
After boiling the bones, I put the bones in the oven at 170 degrees for 4 hours. I make sure they are completely cooled before I grind them.
What about chicken bones?
I have been thinking about doing this. Thanks for explaining how you did it!
I was guessing "what the bowl once was". I was like.. "hubcap? Airplane prop cover?"
😮 I had no idea!

Holy based
Can I do that with turkey & chicken bones, after a few weeks in the chicken run.
I did that with a bunch of chick bones after making bone broth. Turned out amazing and I can’t wait to use it in the garden next year. 👍🧡 Lorie😊
Great tip! I do the first 3 things but then the bones go in the trash! Now I know what to do with them. Thank you so much!
Bro thinks he’s Steve
There are still nutrients left after the bone broth?
I usually grind them all up and make dog treats out of them. Might have to share some in the garden.
I thought it was just me
That would be WONDERFUL for heavy vegetable garden feeders, like tomatoes!
I LOVE the yellow hoodie!
