How people cook with it
Ground turkey is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of dishes. It is a popular substitute for ground beef in many recipes.
- Turkey burgers
- Turkey meatballs
- Turkey chili
- Turkey tacos
To use this ground turkey, you will typically cook it thoroughly in a pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks until it is no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat if desired. It can then be incorporated into your chosen recipe, such as adding it to sauces, forming it into patties, or mixing it with other ingredients for casseroles. Ensure it is cooked to a safe internal temperature.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to ground beef, ground turkey generally has a milder flavor profile. The 93% lean designation means it contains less fat than many ground beef options, which can result in a less rich texture and a need to add moisture or fat during cooking to prevent dryness.
How to keep the rest
Keep the unopened package refrigerated. Once opened, store any unused portion in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within one to two days. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
