Kayem Al Fresco Turkey Uncured Franks
What it is
These are fully cooked turkey franks made without added nitrates or nitrites, except those naturally occurring in celery powder. They are a convenient option for quick meals and gatherings. The franks are seasoned and ready to heat and serve. They offer a lighter alternative to traditional pork or beef franks. The uncured nature means they are processed differently than standard cured meats. They come in a package ready for your kitchen.
How people cook with it
Turkey franks are versatile and can be prepared in many ways. They are a popular choice for casual meals and outdoor cooking.
- Quick weeknight dinners
- Picnics and barbecues
- Kid-friendly meals
- Snack options
To prepare, you can heat these turkey franks by boiling them in water for a few minutes until warmed through. Grilling them offers a nice char and smoky flavor, perfect for outdoor cooking. Pan-frying in a skillet is another quick method, achieving a slightly crisp exterior. They can also be heated in the microwave for ultimate convenience. Serve them in buns with your favorite toppings or as a side dish to complement other foods.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional cured franks that use synthetic nitrates, these uncured franks rely on natural sources like celery powder for preservation. This results in a slightly different flavor profile and texture.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the turkey franks promptly. Keep them in their original packaging or transfer to an airtight container. Ensure they are stored below 40°F (4°C) to maintain freshness and safety. Proper storage helps preserve their quality for future use.
