How to Store Ground Turkey
Store raw ground turkey in its original container (or one that’s air-tight) for up to three days before cooking or freezing.
Tip
How to Freeze Ground Turkey
While you can certainly overwrap the turkey in its original packaging, the best method is to remove it, place it in a freezer bag, and eliminate as much of the air as possible before placing it in your freezer. Frozen ground turkey can last up to four months if freezer burn is not present.
Tip
How to Thaw Ground Turkey
Ground turkey can be thawed in the microwave or in a bowl of cold water (while still in the freezer bag), but must be cooked immediately. Ground turkey thawed in the fridge will have up to two days before it must be cooked and consumed.
Cinco de Mayo
Sauté, stirring occasionally, until almost all the fat has rendered, about 8 minutes. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat (reserve the rest for another use). Add the carrot, celery, and onion, stir to combine, and sweat slowly until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent, 10 to 12 minutes.
Add the turkey and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the white wine.
