Short on Time? Try Speed-Scratch Turkey Products

Student Illustration

When kids are hungry, there’s no time to spare. This is when you need ingredients that come easy and go fast, especially when staffing is low. Take a minute to check out these two quick and simple speed-scratch turkey products that give you time to breathe and flexibility across the menu.

Fully Cooked—Just Heat and Make

Kettle cooked, sous vide, boil-in-a-bag—whatever you call it, speed-scratch doesn’t get much speedier. Just place the bags in boiling water and bring to temperature. (You can also steam in-bag, or open and prepare on stovetop.)

JENNIE-O® Taco Seasoned Ground Turkey: the option of white and dark meat, or just dark meat, that comes cooked, ground up and pre-seasoned with mild Mexican flavors.

JENNIE-O® Chunked and Shredded Turkey & Gravy: the option of white and dark meat, or just white meat, that comes prepared with a traditional, light gravy—no knifework needed!

With no time-intensive prep or training required, you can easily create the lunches your students love—from the simplest classics to bases for other new and exciting meals.
