How do you boil ground turkey?
You don't actually "boil" ground turkey. It's best to cook it in a pan on the stovetop or in a skillet. Here's how:
Stovetop Method:
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of oil or cooking spray.
2. Add ground turkey. Break it up with a spoon or spatula as it cooks.
3. Cook until browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
4. Season to taste. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other seasonings.
Tips:
* Don't overcrowd the pan. If you have a lot of ground turkey, cook it in batches to ensure even browning.
* Use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
* Don't overcook. Overcooked turkey will be dry and tough.
Why not boiling?
Boiling ground turkey can result in:
* Tough, dry meat: Boiling can make ground turkey very tough and dry.
* Loss of flavor: Boiling extracts the flavor from the meat, resulting in a bland product.
* Grainy texture: The meat can become grainy and lose its desirable texture.
