Can Turkey While it's Cheap!

Homemade turkey or chicken soup. You just can't beat it!

I have that same funnel, it was my grandmother's❤. Thank you for the reminder to can things when they are less expensive.

I've been canning Meats for 2 months didn't even think about turkey what a great idea thank you

[@SimplySelfSufficiency-od8ix]

You think up more and more stuff to can as you go along.😊

[@JazzyMamaInAK]

I cut all the white meat off me and mom's turkeys from the food boxes and canned it while I roasted the dark meat and wings for us to eat. Got 10 pints.

[@SuLaDean]

I can turkey just like chicken and beef- I debone it and raw pack, works great and is FDA approved with pressure canning. Then I use the carcass roast it in the oven then the vegetable-I like the flavor of browned and make bone broth and can it also.

[@SimplySelfSufficiency-od8ix]

@@SuLaDean that great. I like easy though and don't like messing with the raw meat. I also don't like using my oven any more than I have to. This is GA and it's just too hot for all that.

[@nonstopmom8185]

So glad you mentioned raw pack. I do chicken and never thought of turkey. Do you pack dark and light together or separate?

[@SimplySelfSufficiency-od8ix]

@@nonstopmom8185 I do them together.

Shred it in the pot and then scoop with big spoon. So fast. ❤

Thanks...I personally like to can the turkey in the broth...not so tasteless then

[@SimplySelfSufficiency-od8ix]

Well, that is good too.

[@patwinkeller9254]

That’s how I do it also. I roast the turkey, then put the bones, vegetables and seasoning in the instant pot. Then I use that broth to can the turkey.

[@cynthiahurry-asoulsearcher729]

How did that turn out? Was the meat dry?

[@patwinkeller9254]

I bought two large turkeys at my local WinCo today for 48 cents a pound! I already had 2 at home, I got totally free through grocery store offers, so I am really excited to be canning up 4 turkeys and all that delicious broth I can make from the bones.

Thank for reminding me I've canned every meat but Turkey because my brother gifted us a few 27oz. Cans if Amish turkey and a couple cans if beef to. Every meat I've been buying chicken thighs because they were cheaper and would can the meat then make bone broth with gallon bag of veggie peels and canned the broth too. I canned meatloaves in widemouth pts,cooked ground beef in 1/2 pts. Meatballs and Salisbury steaks are precooked then canned. But I have switched too buying rotisserie chickens at $4.98 so much cheaper and still get bone broth from the bones. I've done 6 chickens that way so far. Next batch will be made into chicken sandwich spread for easier meals. I've even canned up potatoes,cabbage,gr.Beans ,tomatoes for easier meal making stews ,soups, mixed potatoes & diced carrots, cauliflower ,sliced potatoes for easy frying. I haven't tried canning mashed potatoes but I will try. With no milk tho.

[@SimplySelfSufficiency-od8ix]

I have made several batches of broth from rotisserie chickens too but ours are about $8 now.

I wash any meat that comes from the store.

How long do you cook it for

@@JacquelineBeck-oj3iq It depends on how big your turkey so you just keep checking it but this one was done in about 5-6 hrs. I just l let it go for the day and checked it in the afternoon.

Thank you for this information. Never cooked a Turkey in the crock pot before..but will sure give it a try!

[@gbarnes6983]

Seems to me the turkey would be mushy, I cut the meat off of raw turkey and process it also I can it dry or I can it in broth always boil the bones and gristle whatever to make the broth and put seasoning in it. I couldn't find a recipe for canning the turkey with cranberry so I did some experimentally!

Mashed potatoes are really too dense to can safely. There is a reason you don’t see commercially canned mashed potatoes in stores…it doesn’t work. Can potato chunks…then mash them for dinner. Been canning 55 years…safely. Nancy in east Texas
