What makes our ground turkey special
Raised without antibiotics – what that means for you
When we say our ground turkey is raised without antibiotics ever, we mean zero antibiotic administration at any stage of the bird’s life. This commitment supports responsible farming practices and gives you a cleaner protein choice for your family.
Federal law already prohibits added hormones in all poultry, so our “no hormones added” claim reflects standard industry practice. What sets Nature’s Promise apart is our vegetarian-feed requirement and third-party verification that no antibiotics were used during raising. You’ll taste the difference in the mild, clean flavor that lets seasonings and marinades shine through.
Nutrition breakdown & lean protein benefits
At 93% lean, Nature’s Promise ground turkey delivers roughly 170 calories and 21 grams of protein per 4 oz cooked serving, with just 8 grams of total fat. Compare that to 80/20 ground beef at around 290 calories and 23 grams of fat for the same portion, and you can see why home cooks reach for turkey when they want to lighten up favorite recipes without sacrificing satisfaction.
Ground turkey is naturally rich in B vitamins—especially niacin and B6—plus selenium and phosphorus. Because it’s so lean, we recommend adding a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray to the pan to prevent sticking, or mixing in finely diced vegetables like bell pepper and onion to keep patties and meatballs moist during cooking.
Cooking tips & safe handling
Always cook ground turkey to an internal temperature of 165°F measured with a food thermometer at the thickest part. Because turkey is leaner than beef, it can dry out quickly over high heat; medium heat and a covered pan help retain moisture.
Stovetop
Break up the meat in a preheated skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until no pink remains and juices run clear—typically 7 to 9 minutes for one pound.

Common questions about Nature’s Promise ground turkey
Yes. Our ground turkey contains only turkey meat with no added fillers, binders, or gluten-containing ingredients. It is naturally gluten-free and safe for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Always check the package label for the most current ingredient statement, and be mindful of cross-contact if you prepare the turkey alongside gluten-containing foods in your kitchen.
Unopened vacuum-sealed ground turkey should be used within 1 to 2 days of the purchase date when stored at 40°F or below. Once opened, cook or freeze the turkey within 24 hours for best quality.
If you don’t plan to use it right away, freeze the package immediately. Properly wrapped ground turkey maintains peak quality in the freezer for up to 4 months.
In most cases, yes. Ground turkey works beautifully in tacos, chili, pasta sauce, meatballs, and casseroles. Because turkey is leaner than beef, you may want to add a small amount of olive oil or mix in moisture-rich vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini to prevent dryness.
For recipes that rely on beef fat for flavor—such as traditional smash burgers—consider adding a tablespoon of butter or a splash of broth to the pan, or season the turkey more generously with spices and aromatics.
This label confirms that the turkeys were never given antibiotics at any point during their lives—from hatch to processing. It reflects our commitment to responsible farming and gives you a protein choice free from antibiotic residues.
Federal regulations already prohibit the use of added hormones in all poultry, so our ground turkey is also hormone-free by default.
No. The USDA recommends against rinsing raw poultry because water can splash bacteria onto countertops, utensils, and other foods. Cooking ground turkey to an internal temperature of 165°F kills harmful bacteria without the need for rinsing.
Simply remove the turkey from the package, cook it thoroughly, and wash your hands and any surfaces that touched the raw meat with hot soapy water.
Yes. The 93% lean / 7% fat ratio means that 93% of the product by weight is lean meat, while 7% is fat. This is one of the leanest ground turkey options available and is ideal for health-conscious cooks looking to reduce saturated fat and overall calories.
For comparison, standard ground turkey is often 85/15 or 90/10, while ground beef commonly ranges from 70/30 to 90/10.
If you thawed the turkey in the refrigerator and it has been kept at 40°F or below, you can safely refreeze it without cooking—though some texture and moisture loss may occur. If the turkey was thawed in cold water or the microwave, cook it fully before refreezing.
For best quality, portion raw ground turkey into meal-sized amounts before the first freeze so you only thaw what you need each time.
