Are ground turkey and chicken interchangeable? We are still in lockdown, due to the pandemic, it is going to 35 C, and I don’t want to be in a line-up to enter the grocery store. BUT, I have frozen ground chicken and I wonder if I could use it instead. 🙂
Thanks
Absolutely!
Hello Alida, can these Burgers be frozen for future use? Regards Emma
Yes, they can. I would thaw before cooking.
