The Last of the Turkey

It may seem like such a little bit to can but I have a small canner and the freezer is full. Besides there are three more meals sitting there that aren't going to go to waste now.
So I always can my leftover turkey and chicken after is has been cooked. I have never done it like the book says and cooked it 3/4 of the way then canned it. I take it off the bone, then heat it up in a pan of water then put it in the jars and can it for 1 hour 15 minutes.
The stock is canned for 25 minutes.

  2. Yup, I'm sure I will but winter never knocks real hard here in GA. Very seldom do we really have nasty weather in winter.

  4. I like it canned because it is so easy to make homemade soup with. Just put the jar of turkey or chicken in the crockpot along with a jar of the stock, add a jar of carrots, add salt and pepper, then an hour or so before you are ready to eat it add your noodles. Easy.
