The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 warm 1/4 cup stock with 1 tablespoon olive oil and garlic
- 2 toss the turkey in the warm mixture for 2 minutes
- 3 finish with a squeeze of lemon to brighten
If it's still wrong
- Mix into chili or tacos with extra sauce.
- Add to pasta with a creamy dressing.
Prevent next time
- Cook just until no pink remains, then remove from heat.
- Add a spoon of oil or butter while cooking.
Notes
Why this works
Liquid rehydrates the surface while oil adds lubrication, making the turkey taste juicier even though the meat is lean.
