5 TIPS TO GET BACK-TO-SCHOOL READY WITH CANADIAN TURKEY

  1. Scale Up

Turkey is a great option when planning to double or triple your favourite recipes.  Scale your recipes so you can cook once and then freeze extra portions to have on hand when you need dinner or lunch in a hurry.

  1. Foolproof Favourites

Develop a series of go-to recipes that you know are easy to prepare and that your family will love.  The Canadian Turkey website is packed with kitchen-tested recipes that are both healthy and tasty too.  Turkey is so versatile and comes in so many cuts that you can find something for everyone’s taste and preference.

  1. Plan Ahead

Try to cook with recipes where you can do some prep work ahead of time or plan to pre-cook some or all of the ingredients.  Meal planning up to a week in advance is a great way to save time during busy weeknights.

  1. Keep it Healthy

Turkey is a great source of protein and important minerals and nutrients.  Both dark and white meat is lean, so you can feel good putting turkey on your plate without having to compromise on taste and flavour.

  1. Change It Up
    Turkey adapts to all of your favourite flavour profiles and spice combinations, and with so many cuts to choose from you can find choices that please the whole family. Turkey is a delicious option for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  You can serve it hot or cold, and it tastes great the next day, too!
