Perfect find. I just ordered the grinder to my mixer with this in mind. I make my own sausage taste great but the already ground is over 3 dollar a pound. The cheaper stuff at that. So, I had the same brainstorm you did. I know how to cut a chicken up but not a turkey. So here I am. Thank you. My turkey I brought is in refrigerator thawing now.
thanks for this. using my kitchen aid grinder attachment for the first time today to grind a turkey. your video is very helpful and nothing will go to waste
I always cut up a whole big turkey around Thanksgiving. I make soup out of the bony carcass, freeze the rest, breast for T-day and I grind up the deboned thigh meat. I cut it in cubes making sure it is semi frozen when I "grind" it in the food processor which works really well! I like to mix it with ground pork meat or that bulk sausage that is nitrate free. Makes great meatballs or patties. I find that turkey and pork really love each other. Because of those nasty little "tendon bones" or "pin bones" in the drumsticks, I don't like to cut drumsticks up. I BBQ them and then make kind of a chili and white bean and kale soup with them. Wings are good for soup, too. And of course I cook the back and main carcass bones and thigh bones for soup. On a large turkey, the back has a lot of meat. I like large turkeys for cutting up. Throw out the darn greasy tail feather thing though, because that will make your broth taste nasty gamey. And that leaves only breast and thigh for grinding.
Might have missed it but what did you do with the wings? Were they part of the stock, and then pick the meat off later for other uses? Great video, thanks!
Having a meat grinder is a handy device that saves money. And you know what is actually in your hamburger. Our local grocery store gives away free turkeys around the holidays if you have a member card and spend a certain amount of money on groceries. We usually get a free one every year. This year I made ground turkey with it. Kept the legs for smoking and ground the rest for chili, burgers and sausage. All that stuff for free.
What’s your meat to fat ratio? I’ve seen a lot of grinding turkey videos that just grind the meat with no additional fat in there. Does your turkey come out dry at all & how well does it hold together? Store bought ground has ratios of 90/10 or 85/15 but this looks like straight 100.
I would say my meat to fat ratio was 93/7. It was not very dry. I did stick to using the turkey in sauce recipes like for pasta. I did not want to add any fat to it. but that's a matter of preference. Glad you liked the video. I am taking advantage now that the turkeys are inexpensive and stocking up.
Hi, I did exactly the same thing. After Christmas, the grocery store had turkey, 49 cents/pound. I bought a 12 or 13 pound turkey to grind and make stock. I don't know if it was worth the effort. Maybe? I only got about 4 1/2 pounds of meat, and 4 quarts of stock. Does that sound right?
I ended up with 7lbs of meat. I think it's worth it because of the quality of meat and stock. Especially with the way things are these days. This year I will be processing at least 5 turkeys!
@@arlenesurbanhomestead You're right. I was at the store a couple of days ago, and it was about $7.00/lb for ground turkey. I paid about $6.50 for 4.5 lbs and 4 quarts of stock. I probably will process more too, if I can get them that cheap again.
Love this video, especially with all the ways you broke down the turkey. It was definitely a nice touch showing the cost breakdown and savings.
I am a newbie here i did this same thing on my live. Titled grinding my Turkey. I love and enjoyed watching this video
Awesome video. Thank you.
Thank you for the video 😊
@proverbs3561000 thank you for watching!!
Good job I will start doing that thanks for inspiring me
will you have a video showing how to make bone in turkey chops and sausage? That was a good video!
@@tobycooper8910 that's a wonderful idea! I haven't made sausage in a long time. Thank you for that!!!
Thank you so much for this video ❤

Awesome! I honestly use it more often than I thought I would when it first arrived! The quality of meat and the overall savings is worth it!
This was such a great tutorial thank you for sharing im definitely going to try this.

Kudos to you. That looks so laborous.

Thanks for this video! I’ve had a whole Turkey in my freezer since January(they were on sale) and wondered if this was possible.
super helpful video thank you

wow! That's amazing!!
And you know exactly what you're getting. Not a thousand turkeys all mashed into one.
Exactly!
