Jan, This turkey stock recipe is for pressure canning liquid stock only. Including vegetables makes it a soup rather than a stock and requires a longer processing time. You could follow this recipe for canning chicken soup and omit the chicken or this soup recipe from the NCHFP website, which gives you some flexibility on the types of ingredients.

Thank you.

Krista, You can add salt to taste if you’d like, but it doesn’t need salt for safe canning.
