Girl, make your turkey bone broth with your carcass! We used to put milk and such on our back porch in the winter up in Chicago while growing up. It's fine! We ended up cancelling thanksgiving, all of us got very sick, fevers of 101. To 103.5. there was just no way. So we carved the raw turkey (on thanksgiving), I ground it up with my meat grinder, cooked it up with onions, garlic and peppers. Then I freeze dried it all! Along with the mashed potatoes.
So, my Harvest Right freeze dryer is coming tomorrow! Your videos were a big part of my decision to get one. I am pretty sure that my wife and I have watched every one of your videos. We love that you include your family. We live in Florida and have access to a lot of fruits and vegetables, so we are excited to get started.
Here in Ohio, I definitely use our screened in porch in the winter as a refrigerator/temporary freezer for a lot of things! Also, I keep a Pinterest DIY Chili seasoning mix in my pantry all year long 😋 It’s so easy to make a dump and go chili 😃 I do the same for Taco seasoning, and other recipe spice ingredients. Cuts down on hauling all of the spices out of the pantry each time I want to make something. I also reuse empty glass spice jars for my mixtures. Win win 🏆 🎉
I used my garage "fridge" for the carcass too...then I boiled it in a stock pot for homemade turkey stock which went into a big batch of turkey soup!!! Can't wait to see how you freeze dry the little Debbie trees. I tried it and they turned out more like sugar cookies...lol. You're the best!!!
I probably already put this in one of your videos comments, when I was cleaning up after Thanksgiving dinner, I put all the leftovers straight into the freeze dryer, beings I don't dress my vegetable salad, I put it in also. Everything turned out really good. The salad will go into a powder for v8 juice powder. Later I went through the fridge and freezer and pulled out all the leftovers from who knows what and repacked the for the freeze dryer. My freezer and fridge is empty but I can pick what I want for lunch without the worry of what or where it is 😂😂.
If I had all the cookie cutters I would use them for cookies and tree ornaments. All my Christmas stuff was stolen and that would be great.I love to bake so kinda perfect 🥰 Merry Christmas from Missouri
I made broth from my turkey carcass as well. Used some in a soup the other day already. I have to say, you are staying super cool when opening the advent calendar and there is yet another cookie cutter in there. I couldn't pull that off. My face would say it all.😂 Christmas card is being mailed today.😊
Make broth! My aunt in Ohio used her unheated mudroom as a refrigerator from late fall to early spring. She had a built in hip high storage cabinet and she used the top to set bowls and stuff on. If necessary she opened the windows above the cabinet.
Check out what John in Bibs did with his Thanksgiving Meal. Quite ingenious. Looks like something that could be done with a Beef Stir-fry meal with the additional trimmings. I'm impressed what you have been doing and how adventurous you are. Keep up the wonderful content. Brooke your an inspiration. God Bless you and your family during this wonderful Christmas season.
I put food in the grill outside, just to make sure critters don't munch. We don't have much leftover turkey as we use it for ala king, turkey salad, pot pies as well as sandwiches.
I’m not only freeze drying I bought a few more turkeys. $.88 a lb here. So looking for ANY mre ideas. I made one batch with turkey cream of chicken, egg noodles cooked in chicken broth, and peas. I added parsley I dried also. And some celery seed.
It’s so much fun getting old, hearing isn’t what it used to be. When you said Cumin, it sounded like Human😮! I was like what was that? I heard it correctly after replaying it🤣. Fun video. Cookie cutters, what else is a baking advent calendar going to have that’s not “giving away the store?” I was imagining wolves coming to your porch to eat free turkey. Good thing it wasn’t out there long or the ones nearby may have ventured in for a bite😅.
I live in Southern Idaho and I get upset when it's not cold enough to put stuff on my porch especially during the holidays. I don't have a deep freezer so I really put the porch to use outside. THIS YEAR, has been incredibly warm and I don't recall it being this mild this far into the year. Usually by the middle of October I can count on my front porch freezer..so far the weather will be in the middle 40's until Christmas eve. I don't know if I should be happy since the power won't be as costly or if I should be scared for what January and February will bring 🤔!!
All 4 of my kids and all 6 of my grandkids went to my ex-wife's house while I stayed home with the flu. I know it sounds weird but we always try to make the holidays as family friendly as we can -- up to and including spend that time with each other (my ex and I). Our kids are 35, 32, 19 and 16 so it is a full house.
How can you get tired of turkey? 😮 It’s like chicken so any casserole or soups. Definitely make turkey broth and can it. I got 7 qts of beautiful broth.
When you get into the merch, you'll need to print up t-shirts that say, "That is SO good."
I put stuff out in the snow all the time, then cook, and/or can it later. Carcass will be fine to use.

I'd wrap something around the turkey but would definitely put it outside.
And oh the anticipation of the Christmas cards!!! 😃

I would totally cook with that turkey carcass!
Years ago, my husband lived in Manakotec, AL and he said they kept meat in the patio all the time too, so make your turkey broth 😁
I am from Québec and I always use outside as a fridge in winter… I would do it if I were you!

We use the "outside fridge" in Iowa during the winter.
@@jenk001 ok so it is a real thing haha!! From Arizona and never was able to do that before lol
I already FD all my leftovers! So fun!
@@SasssyPie yay nice work 👏
We put a cooler in an outside shed to store our leftovers. It's been very cold here in Connecticut with snow forecast overnight.

You’re very welcome.
Winter is a great time for extra "refrigerator " space! I use my garage......
@@melodymartin4503 perfect haha great idea!
Your turkey carcass is fine. When we lived in the Northwest Territories we kept whole gutted animals in our shed.

@@StacieKubick oh that sounds so good! I have some new MRE videos coming up starting next week 😁😁

Love the outdoor frig! Thanksgiving was low key but had a yummy dinner Sunday night:) Such fun gifts!!!
I thaw meat outside in the summer here in AZ 🤣🤣
@@ChristinaContreras-x6b haha you got that free outdoor oven 😂

Lol. Nope same in Nebraska. I just cover mine with the roaster lid.
I use the outside freezer too but I put my things in a tote since there are so many cats around.
Use it!!!!!
I would totally love to send a Christmas card, but Canada Post is on strike 🤦🏻♀️ so, I emailed you last week!

I am so sorry you were sick! It's so wonderful that you can spend holidays together, I am sure your kids are grateful for that!
👍👍👍👍👍
Can I just say... I can't believe how many cookies cutters they put in that advent calendar, and had the nerve to charge what they did for it. 😠
I agree. Shameful!
I agree what a rip off
