Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Ground Turkey?

Yes. I recommend using 2 pounds of ground turkey. Season the turkey with salt and pepper and brown it in a large skillet coated with ¼ cup of avocado or olive oil.

Is Turkey Ok on Keto?

Yes, turkey is a great low-carb alternative and works fine for a keto diet. Since it is lower in fat than some other meats, make sure you serve it with a high-fat side to balance your macros.
