Stock the Pantry on Sale | Preserving Turkey 

I did my last turkey based on a video by RU-vid channel That Dude Can Cook. You chop off the legs & wings & breasts, put meat thermometers in a leg and a breast, and the carcass into a stock pot for broth right away. Pull the breasts & wings first at 162 degrees and let them rest. Keep legs in longer so they will be more fully cooked and tender. It was all so wonderful. I’m never cooking turkey any other way. It was so much faster in pieces and I was able to remove the breast early and keep it juicy! I will have to try canning some of it next time!

It is over 100* heat 8ndex in Florida so I cooked a 22lb turkey outside by the pool in a roaster last week. Didnt can any, just froze leftovers

Great video using up turkey for everyone and every animal, very inspiring. Thank you Carter!

It’s that time of year again and I been meaning to tell you that your tomato jam makes a mean sloppy Joe…even with ground turkey

I like to add celery salt, onion salt and garlic salt to my broth with a handful of dried onions and Provence herbs….. love your videos!!! Hard to find turkey 🦃 here in Germany 😮!!

Carter, your kitchen is absolutely beautiful, hopefully your new refrigerator will arrive soon. Great video, thank you! Happy May … ❤️

Love your calmness. I seem to try to be too speedy! And make more mess😊

Loved the video and the music.

The turkeys turned out beautifully, both before and after canning! And the broth ... I could almost smell it! Turkey Divan would be a great way to use some of the turkey.

So nice to see you Carter. I just wanted to mention something. I don't know if you have tried it. I have for years and swear by it and that is a turkey cooked in a bag. I also do my chickens and ham as well if cooking in the the oven. Here in B C it is a brand called " LOOK" it is a large very crinkly noisy bag and you start by tossing 1 tbsp of flour in it just to coat it. Apparently if you don't do this it will explode... so very important step. I put turkey and vegies/garlic/onion/herbs and white wine all in and it comes with a plastic tie and put in a roasting pan. The turkey browns just like it would without the bag BUT I tell you it is melt in your mouth guaranteed. I have to mention to you as well I did that mango chutney and I did tell you a while back it was very strong in vinegar... and this did not mellow out. No one liked it at all. So I disposed of it. It was heart breaking but it was no good wasting my jars on something no one would eat. So lesson learned here for new canners out there not to make the mistake of "thinking" it will be awesome and do a large batch but do a test run. This was the first time Carter that I have done that mistake in all my years of canning. I have to look into a dehydrator and try some of these recipes you do. I have animals to that would love the treats. Thank you Carter for a great video. See you soon. Cheers

Yummy! Carter,I just told my husband, look for turkey on sale! I am going to love canned turkey on the shelf. Thanks for the great video.

Such a great idea to get meat on the shelves before the summer avalanche of tomatoes starts creeping in. I’m opening up a can of BBQ pork and a can of wedge potatoes for dinner tonight and it couldn’t be any easier since the bulk of the work and cooking has already been done. I love a heat and serve dinner on the weekends. Those Hero buns are a fantastic treat for the whole house, too. Thanks for the rec on that brand!

I have been out of the country for 4 weeks so I am binging on your videos!! I love them and I always learn new things!! We picked 1 gallon blueberries today and gallons of plums so I have my work cut out for me!

Hi Carter !! Your Turkeys baked up beautiful, I could have took every bit of that golden skin off and ate it ! No wonder the cats little head was sticking up there .. I would have been too ! Lol. I love all the things you showed that you did with both the Turkeys ! Thank you for sharing !! Blessings to you and David ! I can’t wait for the whole kitchen tour .. I love your new island and the oven doors !!

Turkey always has to have gravy! I think it’s my favorite part of the meal.

Wonderful as always, and that broth sent me into fits. Looks so rich and delicious. Just give me a straw and leave me alone. The kitties can stick around though!

I don't have a air fryer so I will use my oven at 400. Thanks also for reminding me to defrost my 12 lb turkey. Indeed to put it in jars and make some room in my freezer. What a timely video! Many thanks!

Love turkey In a jar!!

What a great video, very helpful

Smart thinking Carter! I'll definitely be on the lookout for turkey sales during my weekly grocery run. Also, I love your choice of herbs to prepare your turkeys, is there anyway in the future that you could do a video on your herb preferences and how you choose to preserve them? Thanks so much Carter, and have a fabulous weekend!

Thanks for sharing

Oh my goodness, the price of meat is wild ! I’ve been scouting and waiting for the day I find a deal so I can stock up and preserve it lol 🙌🏽 thanks for sharing your preserving day with us! 🫶🏽

Awesome Video! Everything looks great. Canned turkey and stock are the best! I love my Presta Eclectric canner as well. Have a great Day.

Arrowroot for thickener

Hi Carter. I really like the way you’re over opens. Looks so much easier to get in and out of than a pull down door. I love Turkey!

Carter the turkeys looks so delicious. Love holiday smells of turkey and hams baking. Jars will be perfect for a nice meal. I'm all about the gravy also. Nice to have canned broth on the shelf. Soup in 20 minutes. Freeze dried cat treats that's $20 a jar saved. Have a good week.

Another enjoyable video😊love getting all your great hints 😊I’ll be canning turkey 😊have a great week😊

Great time, lots of learning ❤❤

We use Trader Joe’s Everything but the Leftovers seasonings. It smells exactly like Thanksgiving. It’s only available around November so I stock up every year. Great on poultry, but we use it on pork or beef as well. It’s also wonderful to add to plain gravy to make it more holiday-ish.

I buy 8-10 turkeys during thanksgiving when they go on sale for .99 cents a pound.. break them down.. can the white meat and turn all the dark meat into canned dog food for my baby! I will be buying a second freezer come July but love LOVE having turkey in the pantry! Especially your chicken *(I use roasted turkey instead) corn chowder recipe

Hi Carter, i hear you about the fat in the gravy. It would be sacrilege to waste it!

Loved this video Carter!! I have 22# Turkey in freezer to can!!! ❤

Hi Carter, I cooked 2 hams and 2 turkey a couple of weeks ago. I canned all the dark meat, the white was divided between the freeze dryer and the freezer for sandwiches later. Took all the drippings for gravy(freezer) and freeze dried the broth The ham was sliced and freeze dried, the bones will go into beans, and the broth went into jars for gravy later Canned 24 pints h burger on Fri! Only thing left are steaks I still haven't tackled the sous vide and I hate to ruin grass fed steak by freeze drying it incorrectly. Just returned from a short trip to Arkansas and threw in 2 trays of veg soup and 2 trays of chili into the freeze dryer I could really smell that turkey, how was the bb vs store bought. I felt like mine was a bit tough (Publix back in Nov). Can't wait to see what you do next! Two weeks left until I head to the west coast. Poor Esme will be running daily until then. Connie. Ps 4 cups per tray should fit in med

I have a presto canner, I'm in elevation of 10lbs. If pressure, my jiggler is made for a 15 lb. On the presto, therefor it does not jiggle. She might want to call her Presto c/s number.

Sales are on in CA also, bought some kegs for soup today - odd for this time of year but OK!

Great video!! Turkey can be used in most chicken recipes easily. This is such a terrific video. Reminder that the Fourth of July is around the corner so there will be tons of meat sales!! 🎉😀

I love turkey it’s my favorite meat l always buy 2 or 3 turkeys at thanksgiving time but never considered them in off months. Great idea I love having turkey and broth in a jar but sadly we burned through all that I canned last November. I will have to look for sales.

I roast the turkeys take off the meat and save the drippings refrigerate while the skin, bones and organs cook over night for the stock. Jar up all the meat then put in a Equal amount of the drippings In each jar then fill it up with the stock. It adds so mutch flavor adding the drippings. My family do not really like turkey but I get 6 every year just to can turkey gravy.

Need to pull mt chickens out of the freezer and process

Great video as usual!

Wow, they look so delicious. My daughter is a kin lover. She would so enjoy your skins 😂😂 Also, Carter, your kitchen turned out beautiful . The ovens worked so well on cooking the turkeys. And the entry is so cool instead of pulling down. May I ask what brand is it. Having a disability it would work well for me in my new kitchen. I have the space already there for the double oven, and they would be a wonderful fit. As always, I love watching ALL of your videos and can't wait till the next one. God bless 🙏

Didn't realize how much I miss the Turkey Skin at Thanksgiving

How do I bypass the (heat jars ) on my electric canner?

A great video. Thank you!

❤

I could see the cat peeking over the corner. LOL

I was laughing... If it doesn't have enough fast in it to worry about, why run it through the fat separator? I have a fine mesh sieve I put in to of my OXO and go straight into a half gallon mason jar.... Easier storage. But I realize that may be a height thing I had never considered before.

Would you tell me how you made your gravy? I think my daughter and I would enjoy turkey and gravy this winter.

Love it when you can find a random deal! always enjoy watching your videos! ZenHugs

How long in a water bath basic canner pot? It just a pot not as fancy as yours🙏🏼 please

Hi, Carter....I just canned French fries potato slices and would like to know the best way to cook them. Do you just dry them off and fry them or do you bake them? Thank you for your help. Melodee

I heard someone say you cannot can with sage that it goes bitter, have you ever had that happen?

what do you consider your can turkey storage for ? 1-4 years ? vs if you would have freeze dried it ?

Thanks Carter. How much freeze dried broth will you use to make a rehydrated serving? I also have the medium Freeze dryer and have not tried broth yet. Cynthia

Carter another great video! ❤ I wanted to let you know I am going to have to return my Presto electric canner😢. You know I told you that it would work properly until it got to the (canning) portion. It never gave an error code and would just vent until all the water was gone if I didn’t stop it??? I am worried that the food I did get processed is not safe?? I had to restart it when processing to get the vent pin to pop up when it worked correctly. I am sacred it’s not safe and disappointed. What to do? I don’t know if I will get another electric canner or not.

Can anyone tell me after cooking the turkey and or chicken then putting in jars and recooking in canner for another 1-2 hrs how the meat texture comes out. To me it seems to be it would be over cooked and be a jar of mush verses canning from raw state and cooked once as i do with all my canning except for things like sauces, salsa or jams

You can cann gravy just pressure can for 90 mins or water bath cann for 3 hrs.

I’ve canned it but I don’t care for it for some reason.

I keep seeing her little head popping up - lol

Really your house is not very big? My house fits INSIDE YOUR KITCHEN--geez rich people, the size of your basement gave it away.
