To prepare ground turkey, it is typically cooked in a skillet over medium heat. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks until it is no longer pink and is thoroughly heated through. Drain any excess fat if necessary. It can then be seasoned and added to a wide range of recipes. Ensure it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit for safety. It can also be baked or grilled, depending on the desired outcome.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to ground beef, ground turkey generally has a milder flavor and a lighter color. It also tends to be leaner, meaning it contains less fat. The texture can also be slightly different, often feeling a bit drier if not cooked with added moisture.
