Brown it in batches
Spread the turkey in a hot skillet and leave it alone 3 to 4 minutes before breaking it up, so it browns instead of steaming.
Add fat to the pan
Lean 93% turkey sticks and dries out, so start with 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter.
Season before it cooks
Mix salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder into the raw meat so the flavor goes all the way through.
Bind burgers and meatballs
One beaten egg per pound holds turkey patties and kofta together on the grill without any breadcrumbs.
