Cooking Tips
🦃 Turkey
- Brine turkey overnight for the juiciest results.
- Use a meat thermometer — 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
- Ground turkey is a lean swap for ground beef in any recipe.
Nutrition: Very lean protein with B vitamins and selenium. 3oz breast has 26g protein and only 120 calories.
Storage: Refrigerate up to 2 days. Freeze for up to 6 months.
🧀 Cheese
- Bring cheese to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
- Grate your own cheese — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that affect melting.
- Add cheese at the end of cooking on low heat to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
Nutrition: High in calcium, protein, and phosphorus. Varies by type — mozzarella is lower fat, cheddar is higher.
Storage: Wrap in parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Hard cheeses last weeks; soft cheeses use within days.
