concentrated broth but its like jelly - Does anyone know if that is fattening? If it isn't fat - what makes it like jelly?

It's cooking juices that have been gelatinized by the natural gelatin in the turkey bones. After you scrape off thr top layer of fat, the rest is fat free and very flavorful for use in gravy, sauces etc.

not sure what makes it like a jelly, but just heat it up for your "broth" , add vegetables.....make Soup* the jelly..turns to liquid. It's not fattening at all.....the layer that you skim off the top (white) is Fat and you throw that part away*

It's fat on top. The cloudy white/yellow stuff. Flick it off while cold.
What's left is the lovely elixier of life: turkey stock! It is jellified b/c of the gelatin that comes from the bones while roasting a whole turkey. It melts, and is nothing to be afraid of. This is the wonderful liquid you use to make glazes, gravies, or soups. I usually strain it before letting it chill, to get out little hunks of spices and stuff that may clutter up my beautiful gravy.

No, it is not fattening, that is pure gold.
it is gelatin, the real stuff, not the stuff put out by jello. It is the same stuff that keeps your muscles lubed. Use it for gravy or stock for anything else.

Always scoop off the top layer because that is the fatty part.
