When purchasing turkey breasts from the store for home-cooking recipes, you need to pay attention to the dates of production, the color of the meat, its smell (if possible), and the integrity of the tissues. Without freezing, this raw meat, like any other, can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. It is suitable for preparing all dishes that require meat fillet.

It can also be passed through a meat grinder, turning it into minced meat. Excessive dryness can be corrected by adding a little lard or raw vegetables. It will be good mixed (with chicken).

It is recommended to bake whole turkey breasts only. If you fry or stew, you need to cut it into smaller pieces. Pastrami is ideal (especially if you find the right recipe).

In some cases, it is recommended to marinate the breasts before heat treatment. They will become juicier and softer. Moreover, this is worth doing not only if you simply fry the product in a frying pan, but also if you stew or bake it.
