How do I cook ground turkey?

Question

I'm making a soup recipe that calls for cooked ground turkey. I bought a package at the store and have kept it refrrigerated for the past few days. Do I just fry it in a frying pan until I don't see pink anymore? Do I need to add anything?

Thanks in advance!

how long approximately should i brown it for? doesn't it usually take like 5 minutes...i'm no cook. =)

Answer 1

In this case, where the recipe calls for cooked ground turkey, you're correct in assuming that you should just cook it in a frying pan until you don't see pink anymore. I wouldn't add anything to it because the soup will probably have enough seasoning in it. If you are ever using ground turkey in place of ground beef, it's best to add some seasoning (pepper, garlic salt) since ground turkey tends to be a little bland.

You use ground turkey the same way you use hamburger. You can fry or grill the patties, make a meatloaf, cook it for chili or in spaghetti. I use a lot of ground turkey and very little hamburger any more.

Answer 5

Add some garlic, onion, pepper, a bit of cyan (enough to add a bite but not enough to make it hot) an egg and some bread crumbs. Now with everything mixed in well take a teaspoon at a time and form small balls of the mixture. Cook the small meatless balls till brown (about 4-5 minutes). Don't worry about them not being cooked completely they will cook in the soup. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

FLAVORFUL GROUND TURKEY

For recipes with ground beef or turkey.

3/4 c. cooking wine or sherry
1/4 c. diced onions
1 clove minced garlic
1 lb. ground turkey

Trying to alter recipes around our house for healthier eating often meant giving up flavor. I have found that browning ground turkey in wine, garlic and onions gives a marvelous flavor to the fowl, without adding fat, cholesterol or sodium! I use my now great tasting turkey as a substitute for ground beef in spaghetti, chili, etc.

Answer 7

I just recently started eating ground turkey in my recipes. It is a little different as it is real dry. I would fry until it is no longer pink, but don't overcook or you'll get a hard glob.

Answer 8

Yes you should first fry the product in a little oil. You do not need to completely cook - until pink is gone - because you will be cooking it more in the soup. Just fry until you see a little browning if you cook too much it will be hard and nasty in the soup.

Answer 9

Brown as you would ground beef only a bit slower as turkey has much less fat. It will require a fair amount of seasoning as turkey is more bland than beef. :-)=

Answer 10

Cook it just like hamburger meat. Add seasonings because it's fairly bland tasting alone. It's a very good filler meat.'
