Most often, pork is used to make aspic. But this meat is too fatty, so the broth does not always turn out perfectly clear. If you want to get the perfect color, texture, and taste, you should choose turkey. The aspic turns out to be very rich and, at the same time, dietary.

The idea of making a transparent and dietary turkey aspic is published on the Instagram page of food blogger Tetiana Yushina (tanyushina).
