Ground Turkey Tips

Ground turkey can be somewhat fatty if it includes skin and dark meat, but it is lean if it is mostly white meat.

It generally holds together better than ground chicken so it makes better meatballs. It absorbs the flavor of other ingredients well.

Extra moisture can be added by combining wet ingredients during the shaping process - for example, adding ricotta not only binds ingredients, it carries added herbs and spices very well.. Also, moisture can be added through the liquids used to cook it. Although referred to as “ground turkey”at the market, you can make it at home by “grinding” the turkey using a food processor.

How Long to Cook Ground Turkey

For safety reasons, ground turkey should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 F. . The chart below gives approximate cooking times for planning purposes, but your thermometer will tell you when it is safe and done.

Ground Turkey Cooking Times	HEAT TO 160 F - TIMES ARE APPROXIMATE
Unformed (crumbled) ground turkey Saute (broken up with wooden spoon) eg. for "Sloppy Joe", Taco, to add to meat sauce, chili, meat pies etc.	Saute	high heat 2 - 3 min.; or medium high heat 4 - 5 min. (till all pink is gone and meat registers 160 F. - then simmer in sauce for 1 min. or incorporate into another dish until done.
Meatballs	Shallow Frying	1 1/2 inch meatballs in 1/4 inch oil for about 10 min. turning to brown all sides to 160 F. then simmer in sauce 5 min.
Meatballs	Bake	350 F for 30 min. to 160 F. then simmer in sauce 5 min.
Burger	Fry	10 - 15 min. turning once to 160 F.
Burger	Bake	400 F 20 - 30 min. depending on size - to 160 F. - turn for even cooking
Turkey Loaf	Bake	60 min. to 160 F. - rest 10 min.
Turkey Loaf	Microwave	15 min. to 160 F. - rest 10 min.

Doneness:

Ground turkey must be cooked until it is well done. It should be opaque and show no pinkness. The temperature of the final product should be at least 160 F. This temperature can be taken by piling up loose ground turkey to one side of a skillet. If the turkey has been formed into a ball, burger, or loaf the temperature should be taken in the middle of the thickest part of the product.
