When cooking with reduced fat ground pork, you can brown it in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess liquid. It can then be incorporated into sauces, used as a filling for dishes like stuffed vegetables or dumplings, or mixed with binders and seasonings for items like meatballs or meatloaf. Ensure it is cooked thoroughly before serving to achieve a safe internal temperature. Its leaner profile means it may cook slightly faster than full-fat versions.
