Turkey stew at home

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make turkey stew? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. In addition to the thigh and breast, you can use any other parts of the carcass. The total weight of the turkey with bones should be at least 1.4 kg. Lard is used to make the stew juicier.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare cans with a total volume of 1.5-2 liters. Wash and sterilize the jars well. I do it the following way. Gently pour boiling water into the bottom of the jar with a thin trickle, about a quarter of the volume. To prevent the jar from bursting, you can not get water on its walls. Then cover with a lid and leave for 10 minutes. After I drain the water and the jar can be used.

3. Step 3:

   

   Rinse the turkey and bacon well under running water, remove all bones. Cut the turkey not too finely - into pieces of about 2x2 cm. On the contrary, cut the fat as small as possible. So it will be prepared faster and then it will not be felt.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add ground pepper and salt to the chopped meat. Mix everything thoroughly.

6. Step 5:

   

   Put a bay leaf and 3 peas of pepper on the bottom of the sterilized jars. Next, spread the turkey with lard, tamping it down a little. It is not necessary to stack up to the lid itself, so that when cooking it does not rise and water does not get into the jars. I got 3 cans.

7. Step 6:

   

   Cover the jars with lids. Put them in a saucepan, at the bottom of which put a towel folded in several layers. Fill the jars with cold water up to the shoulders. Cook the stew for 5 hours after boiling. The fire should be such that the water boils quietly.

8. Step 7:

   

   After roll up the jars, put them on the lids and wrap them with something warm. Leave to cool completely at room temperature, for about a day. Then store in a cellar or other cool room.
