This is ground turkey that has been enhanced with natural flavoring. The meat comes from turkeys and is processed into a ground form, making it versatile for many dishes.

How people cook with it
Ground turkey is a staple in many kitchens, used in a wide variety of everyday meals. Its mild flavor makes it adaptable to numerous culinary styles.
- Seasoned patties for burgers

When cooking, ensure the ground turkey is thoroughly heated to an internal temperature that indicates it is fully cooked. It can be browned in a skillet, often with aromatics like onions and garlic, before being incorporated into other dishes.

Its lean nature means it cooks relatively quickly, and care should be taken not to overcook it, which can lead to dryness. The natural flavoring is designed to complement a range of spices and herbs.
