Great Ground Turkey

When you buy ground turkey, look for an evenly colored product that has very little liquid in the package. If there is a lot of liquid, the meat will be dry when cooked. Ground turkey freezes very well, so purchase a lot when there's a sale. You can also grind your own turkey in a food processor using the pulse function.
