Buy one turkey, get one free, if you buy an additional $35.00 worth of groceries...(no alcohol, dairy, cigarettes) that's what the ad says...I have my list, mostly chex cereal, pretzels, nuts, to make the annual, quadruple batch of holiday "chex mix."...The two turkeys will be stored in Pam's freezer, until next year when I get the urge to do some more pressure cooking...Becky will also have her list and add two more turkeys...four is enough to can, if they are 20 pounders.
This turkey canning is a tradition my mother started when she lived in Utah in the 70's/80's...In those days before ground turkey came into vogue, "turkey hinds" (leg/thigh portion) were cheap...Mom, always looking for a bargain and remembered the days, before freezers, when she canned chicken, would stock up on turkey hinds to can or jar (as they say now.)
An interesting sidenote here...Years ago(50s/60s) whole, canned chickens could be found in grocery stores, priced reasonably, they made a quick meal for the busy housewife or for some of the first career women...Maybe the start of convienence food....I just did a search and found that Amazon still sells them.
I never know where, on any given day this blog is going to go, but think for today it has gone on long enough...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
