Seasoned Ground Turkey
Description
The recipe starts by browning one pound of ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat, breaking the meat into small pieces for even cooking. Once no longer pink, the heat is reduced, and a combination of chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper is added along with chicken stock or water.
Simmering for about five minutes simultaneously reduces and thickens the liquid while allowing the spices to infuse the meat. The result is ground turkey with a balanced, seasoned flavor and a slightly saucy texture suitable for tacos, wraps, or mixes into other dishes.
The meat can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days and reheated before serving. It is also freezer-friendly for up to two months, requiring thawing in the refrigerator before reheating, making it convenient for meal prep and batch cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (or water)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it browns. Cook the ground turkey until browned and no longer pink.
- Reduce the heat to low, then add the chicken stock and spices. Stir together until the meat is coated in the sauce. Bring it to a simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid reduces and thickens a bit.
- Use in tacos or your desired recipe.
Notes
- Store cooked seasoned ground turkey in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat just before serving.
- Freeze in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
