The CHEF TIPS:
For optimal browning and taste: 1) Do not rinse ground meat. 2) Do not crowd ground meat. Crowding may cause the juices to pool around the meat. Pooling causes the juices to steam the meat rather than brown it, making it less flavorful.VariationsCook rice the day before, and cool in the refrigerator. Critical Control Point: Cool to 40 °F or lower within 4 hours.If ground turkey is frozen, defrost in the refrigerator for 1 day per 1–5 pounds. Store raw ground turkey at 40 °F or lower.
