The flavor is actually better. The turkey adds a flavor profile that takes the meatballs next level. I don't do it for health reasons, I mix them because the meatballs are just soooo good. Canning them didn't pose challenge as long as the precooking cookedcl them through prior to filling jars.

Smell, texture, flavour all left lots to be desired IMHO. <br />So I made meatballs out of my next batch of hamburger, not near as much hamburger this tinme, and they turned out great! <br />EXCEPT!<br />I made them with eggs and crackers and then read all the "DO NOT CAN EGGS OR DAIRY", so I took a pint of meatballs out to try and they were fine. Imagine that.<br />So now with a new onslaught of hamburger, there must be twenty pounds there, I'm doing it ALL up in meatballs. <br />Thank you for the juice ideas, I never would of thought of canning the meatballs in tomato juice or V8. <br />I usually just throw some BBQ sauce or Honey Garlic, and even Sweet and Sour and still will, but now I have more to add to my repertoire.<br />Anywho, there's 16 pints of beef in the canner with four full pints left over as I write, and I'm just taking a little break before I hit the meatballs. Big day for me. <br />I raw pack the beef but I'll hot pack the meatball and for the first time I'm doing them in Quarts just because I found a dozen wide mouth quarts and see no reason to not be using them. <br />Have a great one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988284090740131570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-47338878898143372022019-02-28T13:49:26.440-06:002019-02-28T13:49:26.440-06:00In Albondigas soup (meatball) they use uncooked ri...In Albondigas soup (meatball) they use uncooked rice in place of breadcrumbs. Because the meatballs are cooked in the broth the rice absorbs some of the liquid and cooks. They never have fallen apart in the ties I have made the dish.

Water bath types of canners work well for many things but not meat of any kind. If you don't have one and don't want to buy one try freezing them. I do mine both ways and we like them either way. Though the canned ones are so nice to open and not have to wait while they thaw.
