Gelson's Organic Fresh Ground Turkey 93/7
What it is
This is ground turkey made from organic, free-range birds. The 93/7 designation indicates that it is 93% lean and 7% fat. This lean ratio makes it a versatile ingredient for many dishes. It is typically sold in a refrigerated package, ready for immediate use or freezing. The organic certification means the turkeys were raised without the use of antibiotics or added hormones, and fed organic feed.
How people cook with it
Ground turkey is a popular choice for weeknight meals due to its quick cooking time and adaptability.
- Seasoned patties
- Hearty pasta sauces
- Savory stuffed peppers
- Quick chili
You can brown this ground turkey in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat if desired, though with a 93/7 lean ratio, there will be minimal fat. It can then be incorporated into various recipes. For dishes like chili or pasta sauce, add your other ingredients and simmer until flavors meld. For burgers or meatballs, mix with binders and seasonings before shaping and cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to ground beef, ground turkey is often lighter in flavor and can be a leaner alternative. The 93/7 lean-to-fat ratio means it has less fat than some other ground turkey options, making it suitable for recipes where a leaner profile is preferred.
How to keep the rest
Keep this ground turkey refrigerated at 40°F (4°C) or below. It is best used within one to two days of purchase if not frozen. For longer storage, freeze it in its original packaging or transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to three to four months.
