There are several means of preserving meat without salt: (Smoking is not included, as the first step in smoking is curing, which requires salt.)
- Freezing - Meat securely wrapped in moisture-proof wrapping and frozen at 0 degrees F will be good in quality for up to 12 months.
- Canning - meat processed and sealed in jars will be good for years.
- Dehydrating - Dried meat, sealed tightly in air-proof wrapping or other container, will last indefinitely.

Pickling lime used to be an accepted method of adding crispness to pickled cucumbers. The USDA no longer recommends use of pickling lime.

It the pickling solution is not acidic enough it can allow botulism an environment in which to grow. Botulism cases have been linked to this situation and this is the reason it is no longer recommended.

Can you use canning pickling salt to brine turkey?
Yes - you can use pickling salt to brine turkey. The main difference between pickling salt and other salts are grain size and iodine. Table salt has iodine, pickling salt does not. The iodine is only added to table salt to add that nutrient to our diet; it has no effect on brining turkey - it doesn't hurt but it doesn't help. Pickling salt is also very fine-grained, to speed up dissolving in water to create a brine, so it is useful for solutions needing salt. Typically it is even finer grained than table salt and much finer than rock salt or kosher salt. When you think about it, canning salt really is designed for brining processes so not only CAN you use it to brine turkey - it would probably be the PREFERRED type of salt to use to brine turkey.
