I did my last turkey based on a video by UA-cam 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!
Sounds so good, Vicki!
Yes! I cut my turkey into pieces and cook it in my instant pot. So tender
I used his method this thanksgiving and agreed. Everything turned out perfect. This will be how I do my turkey from now on. 😊 I also made his gravy and herbed salt… divine. So delicious
@@YouGrowRow I definitely need to try this!
@@karenm7433can u pls elaborate on what you did with the turkey in the insta pot? I have a couple more to cook
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!
Welcome home, Melanie! You do have a heck of a busy time ahead of you, but what a great harvest! Enjoy.
Great video using up turkey for everyone and every animal, very inspiring. Thank you Carter!
Daryl! So good to see you!
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!
My pleasure, Madeline!
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
That works beautifully too!
Nice! But yikes to the heat!
Didn't realize how much I miss the Turkey Skin at Thanksgiving
Sorry! Thanksgiving will be here sooner than we think!
I could see the cat peeking over the corner. LOL
She's a little stinker!
Great time, lots of learning ❤❤
A great video. Thank you!
Thanks, Stacey!
Great video as usual!
Thanks, Theresa!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for being here, Susan!
Another enjoyable video😊love getting all your great hints 😊I’ll be canning turkey 😊have a great week😊
Thanks, Roberta!
What a great video, very helpful
Thanks, Jean!
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.
Turkey Divan...I have never made it, but I love having new ideas. I'll look up some recipes now and put it on my list. Thanks so much, Dannie!
Love your calmness. I seem to try to be too speedy! And make more mess😊
Oh, Phyllis. I make plenty of mess!
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.
My pleasure! Good to see you, Jane! Thanks so much for being here.
Loved the video and the music.
Thanks, Marsha! I'm not sure that's what Mozart intended, but it seemed to fit!
Loved this video Carter!! I have 22# Turkey in freezer to can!!! ❤
Thanks, Suzan! Get that big turkey on the shelf! How wonderful.
Awesome Video! Everything looks great. Canned turkey and stock are the best! I love my Presta Eclectric canner as well. Have a great Day.
Good to see you, Lori! Enjoy your week.
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
Always busy! I'm looking forward to fding some ham when fresh hams are out at Christmas. Didn't think about it at Easter. I agree about risking GF steak in the FD. I may try it with a Costco steak first. Will keep you posted there. I thought the fd broth granules turned out great. I haven't reconstituted any yet, but I did taste test as a "flavor enhancer" and thought it was great. You're going to have such fun on your trip! And poor Esme will get a much deserved rest.
Carter, your kitchen is absolutely beautiful, hopefully your new refrigerator will arrive soon. Great video, thank you!
Happy May … ❤️
Thank you! I'm trying to be patient for the fridge, but that's not exactly my strong suit! Hopefully I get to show you the whole kitchen soon. Thanks for being here!
@@growandpreserve looking forward to seeing the kitchen complete, I would be inpatient as well.
I agree
Love your little sneaky kitty peeping over the edge of the counter,😸😸🫶🏼👏🏼🫲🏻🤣🤣
Turkey always has to have gravy! I think it’s my favorite part of the meal.
Absolutely!
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 !!
Thanks, Bridget! David likes the skin too. He made sure I saved him plenty! I'm so pleased with the way the kitchen looks and functions now. Can't wait to show you the whole thing.
❤
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.
Hey, Donna! Hope you had a good week. I love the holiday cooking smells too. It's fun to have turkey back on the shelf. It's Thanksgiving anytime around here!
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!
Thanks so much, PDX! I'm not sure you could get the cats to leave you alone long enough to finish the broth! One track mind, those two!
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!
Well that's a fun idea, ArkansasSquaw! I'll give that some thought. I do love herbs and spices of all kinds. Thanks for the idea.
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! 🫶🏽
It really is crazy. Hope you find some good deals!
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
Hey, Sheila! I have not heard of the potentially exploding bag! I think we have some sort of oven baking bag here as well, but I haven't tried it. So glad it works so well for you. So sorry you didn't like the mango chutney. At least you know now.
The bag that I used (Reynolds?) said to cut a slit at the top, too, to allow steam to escape.
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!
That's one of our current favorite go-to dinners, Kari. Yum! We had tacos tonight, so perhaps it'll be bbq sandwiches and fries tomorrow. I agree about the hero buns. They're starting to bring them to retail now too. I think Sprouts now carries both the sliced bread and the buns. Good to see you, Kari! Hope you have a great week.
@@growandpreserve I have a Sprouts 4 blocks from my house!!! I’ll check next time I’m there. I get the bundles and freeze them now.
Love turkey In a jar!!
Me too, Mona!
@@growandpreserve we are low sodium and I can control the salt so much better my own with canned meat then add to it as I use it... I'm new to canning meat but have done beef cubes, pork, chicken breast and turkeys with both white and dark some in broth some in water. Game changer for a hurried meal!! I want to do ground beef so I'll be looking for it in your library.
@@monahardy978 You've been busy! I love canned ground beef. Talk about a game changer...no splatter, no draining, no constant monitoring while browning. Just open a jar, season and heat. Gotta love that! Do note that I can my ground beef without adding liquid (other than some fat) to the jar. The USDA method adds broth or water, which I think makes it super soggy. Other folks love it canned in water, so you do you! Here's the video on it: ua-cam.com/video/mxZeBCbq6w4/v-deo.html
@@growandpreserve thank you!
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!
Yes! Especially for short me! The side opening door was a huge selling point for me. With the pull down door, I would never have gotten the turkey in the top oven.
@@growandpreserve I was surprised to hear you say you were short. On video imo you appear to be a tall person. lol
@@Mel-vu9ss Hooray! 5'3" these days. I was 5'5" back in the day. Loved the 80s since I could be 5'6" with the big hair!
@@growandpreserve oh yes!! Big hair 80’s. I miss that time.
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.
Whoa! I haven't seen it, but I will definitely look for it November. Thanks for the tip!
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
NIce! I made sloppy joes about a week ago and didn't even thing of that. I used a mix of tomato sauce and bbq sauce. Next time I'll try the tomato jam. Thanks for the idea!
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.
Good to see you, Dani! You should be starting prime harvest season pretty soon, yes? If you get a chance, send me a current photo of your gorgeous garden. I'm so ready to see a garden full of tomatoes, peppers, squash, etc.
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!! 🎉😀
Thanks so much! Thanks also for the reminder about sales around the 4th. Hopefully we'll see some more meat sales for Memorial Day as well. Always a good idea to keep an eye out!
Sales are on in CA also, bought some kegs for soup today - odd for this time of year but OK!
Odd indeed, but no argument from me!
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
Hey, Cynthia! I put in 12 cups of broth in that first batch and ended up with about 3.5 cups of granules. I'm thinking roughly a 3:1 ratio water to granules, but there could be some fudge factor either way.
Love it when you can find a random deal! always enjoy watching your videos! ZenHugs
I could never resist a deal! Glad to have you here!
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
Hey, Madeline! I pour off any liquid that has accumulated in the jar, then toss the fries in the air fryer or onto a sheet pan. Spritz with oil, add salt if desired. Into the oven or air fryer at 400-425F for about 10 minutes. We just finished our last jar of them 2 nights ago. Ack!
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 🙏
Thanks so much, Penny! My ovens are by Thermador. The side opening door was a huge selling point for short me! I could never have gotten a turkey in the top oven over a pull down door.
@growandpreserve Carter, I hear you not only my disability, I am only 5'3, and my daughter is only 4'11. 😂 we are the shortest ones, and we need help to load it.
Thank you, and I appreciate all you do to teach all of us. God bless 🙏
Would you tell me how you made your gravy? I think my daughter and I would enjoy turkey and gravy this winter.
Sure! Super simple. I used all the drippings from the pans, added broth and reduced by about a third. Add seasonings and stir in thickener of your choice. I am keto, so I use glucomannan, but feel free to use a flour, arrowroot or corn starch slurry if you prefer. Do everything to your taste. I don't measure much of anything when I'm just cooking for us. Just keep tasting...that's half the fun anyway!
@@growandpreserve Thank you so much!!!!
Hi Carter, i hear you about the fat in the gravy. It would be sacrilege to waste it!
Agreed, Erika! Good to see you.
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.
Sounds delish to me!
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.
So sorry it seems you got a lemon. I hate to hear at, but I appreciate the update,
Call the Presto company and let them know. I have read they have great customer service.
How do I bypass the (heat jars ) on my electric canner?
Hold down the arrow for 5 seconds
What Lee said. :-)
Need to pull mt chickens out of the freezer and process
Yes! Make room for Summer preserving in there!
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.
Walking and chewing gum...talking and cooking. Sometimes one activity wins out over the other! 🤣
I heard someone say you cannot can with sage that it goes bitter, have you ever had that happen?
I have heard that it can turn a bit metallic tasting, Tammy. I haven't experienced that, but I don't usually intentionally use it in canning recipes. It does end up in turkey products, often in leftover spaghetti sauce, etc. But, if I'm creating a recipe specifically for canning, I usually leave it out in case it bothers someone else. I should have noted that in the video. Good to see you, Tammy!
@@growandpreserve thanks I love sage
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
Hey, Spark. Hopefully others will chime in, but I'll give you my experience. For me, raw pack poultry comes out as "shredded". Perfect for things like chicken salad, bbq chicken sandwiches, burritos, buffalo chicken nachos, etc. Pre-cooked or rotisserie poultry, if more pulled than chopped, still comes out with a more "pulled" look and texture, which I like for a turkey dinner, pot pie or some type of casserole.
@growandpreserve Thank you, I have (2)15-lb turkeys in my freezer and about 6 or 7 whole chickens that need to be dealt with right away. I'm thinking of saving time or steps to thaw, debone all meat, then raw pack and can accordingly. The only 1 cooking step I wanted to do is the bones for broth, then can accordingly
You can cann gravy just pressure can for 90 mins or water bath cann for 3 hrs.
I keep seeing her little head popping up - lol
She's persistent!
I’ve canned it but I don’t care for it for some reason.
Hmmm. At least you know!
Really your house is not very big? My house fits INSIDE YOUR KITCHEN--geez rich people, the size of your basement gave it away.
