Grind Your Own Poultry or Meat

If you have a recipe that calls for ground poultry or meat and all you have on hand is a solid piece of poultry or meat, there is no need to rush out to the store or to choose another recipe. You can grind any poultry or meat using the Saladmaster Machine! Simply freeze the poultry or meat - if not already frozen - and use Cone #2 of your Saladmaster Machine to grind your own.

Ground Turkey vs. Ground Beef

• A 3.5 ounce (99g) serving size, approximately ½ cup, of lean ground turkey has 180 calories, 12.5 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of iron and 17 grams of protein.
• A serving of the same amount of lean ground beef contains 215 calories, 18 grams of fat, 2 grams of iron, and 19 grams of protein.
• Turkey is lower in saturated fat than beef

How to Make Zest

When a recipe calls for orange or lemon zest, it means the thin, brightly colored outermost layer of the citrus fruit’s peel. The zest contains most of its aromatic essential oils and is a lively flavor source.

When grating citrus peel, use just the outer, colored potion. The white part, called the pith, is bitter and should be discarded. Citrus fruits can be zested using Cone #1 on the Saladmaster^® machine.

Using grated zest gives a true orange, lemon or lime flavor without the acid of the juice. Grated zest is particular desirable in vegetable, meat or fish dishes, and in baked goods.
