H-E-B Natural Extra Lean Ground Turkey with Rosemary Extract
What it is
This is ground turkey that has been processed to be very lean, meaning it contains a low percentage of fat. The addition of rosemary extract is a common practice in the food industry. Rosemary extract is often used as a natural antioxidant, which can help to preserve the product and maintain its freshness. This ingredient also contributes a subtle herbaceous aroma and flavor to the turkey.
How people cook with it
Ground turkey is a versatile ingredient commonly used in a wide variety of dishes, from weeknight dinners to more elaborate meals.
- Ground turkey patties
- Turkey meatballs
- Turkey chili
- Stuffed bell peppers
To cook, simply break up the ground turkey in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meat, stirring occasionally, until it is no longer pink. Drain off any excess liquid or fat if desired. This browned turkey can then be incorporated into your chosen recipe. It cooks relatively quickly due to its lean nature. Ensure it is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion of the ground turkey in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to use it within one to two days. For longer storage, freeze the ground turkey in its original packaging or a freezer-safe bag.
