Questions about Ground turkey
How do you cook turkey mince so it does not turn dry?
Brown it in a hot pan with a little oil, breaking it up as it cooks; it usually takes about 6–8 minutes. Stir in a splash of stock, tomato passata or water for the last few minutes, and cook until the centre reaches 75 °C.
Can you use turkey mince instead of beef mince in recipes?
Yes: use it in chilli, shepherd’s pie, pasta sauce or meatballs. It is leaner than ground beef, which has 293 kcal and 24.7 g fat per 100 g, so add a little oil and season assertively to keep the dish savoury.
What can you make with turkey mince besides burgers?
Shape it into meatballs for tomato sauce, use it in tacos or lettuce wraps, or stir it into a quick chilli with beans. For meatballs that hold together, mix in beaten egg and breadcrumbs before shaping.
How do you stop turkey burgers falling apart?
Mix the mince gently with a beaten egg and a handful of breadcrumbs, then chill the shaped patties for 20 minutes before cooking. Turn them only once they have formed a browned crust, and cook the centre to 75 °C.
How long does raw turkey mince keep in the fridge?
Keep it sealed on the bottom shelf and cook it within 1–2 days of buying. Freeze it promptly if you will not use it in that time; thaw it in the fridge, not on the worktop.
Can you freeze cooked turkey mince?
Yes. Cool it promptly, portion it into airtight containers and freeze; use it within about 3 months for best quality. Defrost in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot throughout.
