To cook, simply remove the ground turkey from its packaging. You can break it up in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it is fully cooked through and no pink remains. Drain off any excess fat if desired. This seasoned turkey can then be incorporated into your favorite recipes.

Unlike plain ground turkey, this product comes pre-seasoned with Italian herbs, saving you the step of adding your own spices. This can alter the final flavor profile of your dish compared to using unseasoned meat and adding your own blend of herbs.
