Has anyone tried grinding turkey legs? If so, how did it do?

Turkey legs are pretty large. I have used it for chicken legs, which works fine as long as they are not frozen. You can put chicken legs in whole. If you cut up the turkey legs first, it might not be a problem. My concern would be the size of the bones in the turkey legs.

Turkey legs may be too much bone. I've done turkey necks and it almost didn't handle it. Chix leg quarters work great.

I put the thigh with drumstick sometimes attached, sometimes separately into the grinder "ankle" first (bone included).

No it would break if you grind poultry bones no bones what so ever, the grinding plates Could do it, but the meat grinder itself it would break, because it is plastic, I would not dare put bones in my meat grinder

I am not sure. I never tried grind fat scraps. I did not have problem with fat meat. I think if your fat will be cold it will work. hope this will help. Benjamin.

This really depends more on your mixer than the attachment. Grinding bones is hard work and will strip the transmission gears of most any consumer-grade stand mixer. If you're going to grind bones, get the best dedicated meat grinder you can afford.

No this won't grind meat with bones in it. Meat like chicken and rabbit, should be ok. The best electric meat grinder for doing meat with bones is the American Eagle #12 or #22. They grind chicken, turkey, duck and rabbit. Red meat bones are too dense and hard; you'll need a really powerful commercial grinder for that.

I have used it to grind chicken and turkey, with bones, to make raw pet food. No problems whatsoever! I am sure it will do the job for you!

I tried it with a frozen 16 lb turkey, it seemed to do fine. I did place the one end of the laurel between two leaves of the other side of the laurel like a circle. I use it for roasts of all kinds and have used to stabilize stuffed peppers.

Are you trussing the bird? I have found with larger turkeys that it is necessary to tie the legs, as well as the rest of the bird like a rolled roast. It is also important to run the skewers through the turkey to provide the best balance of weight so that it doesn't sag.

Yes you can grind nuts, but i don't know what is your expectation on the result. I used it to grind nuts and it worked for me.

Yes it works. But not the best product for big grinding projects. Everyday small things no problem, unless you want to grind meat and alot of it,its just too time consuming ...hope this helps

Yes it will. We used it to grind chicken for a sick puppy and it grinds legs bone and all very well. It ground about 90 pounds of chicken until the puppy was well enough to be put back on regular food.

I use ground turkey for making jerky. I could easily load 4 lbs at a time, 5 if I tried.. of course using ground meat may be different than sliced meat as far as weight goes. It could depend upon thickness etc. .

They cut through cartilage and breast bones to split a chicken in half. However, not the leg bones. I believe it would do the same on a turkey. They are excellent shears.

I have only used (and very successfully!) for turkeys at the holidays...have not attempted any actual baking in it.

I have not used my grinder for this kind of work. I do grind a lot of venison and have not had to clean it until I get my batch done, about 25 lbs. There are things that get wound around the blade, but that is going to happen with any grinder I do believe.

Yes!!! Most assuredly! I haven't used it for grinding bones as stated it will do, but it hasn't slowed down with any of the wild game I have thrown in it. I would buy another tomorrow! I love, love it.
