Why This Recipe Works

Ground turkey's mild flavor seamlessly blends with all sorts of seasonings, and because it's both ground and naturally tender, it can be cooked quickly. When it's sold in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), the cocktail of gasses under its taut plastic seal stave off spoilage and discoloration, dramatically extending the meat's fridge life. Give 10 minutes of your time and a few additions that you probably have on hand, and ground turkey can be your staple protein that is juicy, tender, and a versatile base for countless quick meals.

Before You Begin

If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, you can use 2 teaspoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon cider vinegar.

Instructions

Process shallot, panko, salt, and pepper in food processor, scraping down sides as necessary, until shallot is finely ground, about 20 seconds. Add turkey, milk, butter, and Worcerstershire and pulse until just combined, 8 to 12 pulses. Transfer to bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.
