How people cook with it
Ground turkey is a popular choice for home cooks looking for a leaner alternative to ground beef. It can be used in a wide array of dishes.
- Turkey burgers
- Turkey chili
- Turkey meatballs
- Turkey loaf
To cook ground turkey, begin by breaking it up in a skillet over medium heat. As it cooks, stir and crumble it into smaller pieces. Drain off any excess fat that accumulates during cooking. It can then be incorporated into sauces, mixed with binders for patties or meatballs, or used as a base for casseroles and stews. Ensure it is cooked thoroughly until no pink remains and it reaches a safe internal temperature.

How to keep the rest
