Poultry
Ground
Ground Turkey is broken muscle for flexible cookery. Brown for flavour; do not overwork patties. Cook turkey ground to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Roasting, smoking, deli slicing, and mince show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
