Ground poultry :  the joy of discovery

Looking for a change? Give your plate a fresh boost with ground poultry. There are countless reasons to incorporate these versatile, balanced, and tasty meats into your meals!


Nutritious and balanced

Ground turkey and chicken are both excellent sources of high-quality protein. These healthy choices deserve a spot on your table. Poultry is known for its low saturated fat content. Light and tender, they can easily be shaped into small meatballs. Try them in a turkey polpette or chicken kefta recipe.

Versatile, you say?

Ground poultry is always a hit, thanks to its ability to pair well with a wide range of flavours. From the nutty notes of sesame to the freshness of orange zest, your only limit is your imagination. Chicken and turkey are perfect for culinary exploration, blending seamlessly with various flavours and textures.

Versatile, ground poultry fits perfectly in a burger or tortillas. Lacking inspiration? Try our turkey burgers with bacon. For lunch or happy hour, add it to a tray of nachos on the BBQ.

Tips for success

If you're used to cook other types of ground meat, it's important to know that poultry is more delicate. It's best to cook it at a medium or low temperature to prevent it from drying out or forming a crust. Always ensure poultry is well-cooked before serving (internal temperature of 74 °C (165 °F)). Depending on the recipe, you can add a bit of milk or yogurt to the turkey or chicken to keep the meat from becoming too dry.

Now it's your turn. Embrace the versatility of ground chicken and turkey and discover all the possibilities!
