For this borscht recipe I used a turkey carcass after a good part of the meat was removed. You may use some beef bones or even cut up whole chicken.
Put a turkey carcass in a large pot and then just barely cover it with water.
Bring it to a boil and then simmer it for several hours.
Remove the bones and let them cool a bit and then remove the turkey meat and add that back to the pot.
- 5 cloves
- 1 teaspoon pepper corns
- 1 star aniseed
- 1 bay leaf

- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
Wrap spices in cheesecloth and tie it with kitchen string and add it to the pot.
Add
- 1/2 teaspoon of maggi seasoning sauce (optional)
Let that simmer for half an hour.
