Canned Turkey

[ChesterCopperpot]

I usually can one whole deer every year and I was canning one the other week when I decided I'd try some wild turkey. I cut up three breasts and canned them and I'm here to tell you that's a fine, fine way to use them. Perfect for pot pies, soups, tacos, whatever. Tender as can be. Making a pot of soup as I type this. I'll definitely be doing that every year with at least one bird from here on out.

Soup looks good, that will hit the spot at the end of today, that would be a good way to tenderize legs and thighs.

We can a deer or 2 each year, good stuff

I also can a lot of venison. Looks like I have something new to try.

Don't know why in the world I never thought of it, Tony. Always canned about anything and just never thought turkey. Come out real good.

Great idea!  I just canned a bunch of venison, will do that this spring with some legs and thighs

When I was a kid we canned venison, turkey, pheasant and most all game. It all was very tasty .

ChesterCopperpot.   The soup looks great.

My grandmother used to can everything. I don't ever remember her canning turkey but do remember her canning rabbit.

Good idea and that soup looks great. Good luck this spring

So this year I changed it up a little. Still canned the breast, but I also canned the legs. I cooked them down and took them off the bone then added mushrooms and onions before covering with broth and canning. Come out really good. First can I just cut me a big hoagie roll in half dumped the meat and melted some cheese over it on the grill

I was just going to ask if you could do that, thanks.

If you can the legs like I'm saying, it's the same as dry packing raw meat as far as time (90mins at pressure for quarts), but I'd suggest leaving the meat a little lower in the jar and filling with broth a good inch to inch and a half above it. Turkeys legs have a tendency to be so dry they kind of soak it up and reconstitute when you can it.
