Metric - US Standard

Instructions

  • Preheat a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat, coated with rapeseed oil/canola. Add the ground turkey into the pan and break apart (roughly) with a spatula. Leave to brown on a high heat for five minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • After this time, the ground turkey should have taken on some nice colour. Break apart properly now with your spatula and stir.
  • Continue to cook for another 3 minutes, then add the seasoning and another generous pinch of salt into the pan. Reduce the heat to medium now and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes.
  • Serve up with a crack of black pepper and enjoy!

Notes

  • Opt for ground turkey with higher fat content, like 93%, to ensure a moister result.
  • Season generously to your taste preferences, using spices and seasonings you enjoy for better flavour.
  • Choose a high-quality ground turkey brand for improved taste and overall quality.
