Homemade Turkey Ham
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. To make the ham, you will need a special mold called a "ham press" — it is a press that allows you to form the ham as densely as possible. Don't let the cooking process intimidate you, as it consists of preparing the minced meat and boiling the ham itself. I recommend buying a ham press, because with its help you will forget about store-bought meat products. A dish prepared at home is much healthier, tastier, and more natural. It can be served warm or chilled.

Place the ham cooker in a saucepan of the same height and fill the saucepan with cold water. Over the highest heat, bring the water to a boil, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat. The water should be at the edge of boiling but not boiling.
