Draining My Meat
So I just finished browing some 97% Fat-Free turkey and want to drain my meat of all remaining fat....how do you drain your meat? Do you give it a shake or two at the end of the cycle? Do you dab it with a cloth or a paper towel?
Just wondering what techniques you all use.

I shall resist the urge to go dirty with this and share actual information. Studies have shown that you can rinse browned 85% lean ground beef and then heat it back up and its aprox 93% at that point but that doing the same thing with 93% does not increase the lean % ... not sure if that holds true for turkey though.0

When I brown hamburger or tureky I always put it in a colander and run it under warm water.0

I thought you were supposed to drain the protein.0

You spread it on the breasts ( chicken that is ) then they will not stick to the pan when you fry them.0

I just had a brain stall while trying to decide whether to reply to this in earnest or in jest. :laugh:0

So you did neither. Well playe sir, well played.I just had a brain stall while trying to decide whether to reply to this in earnest or in jest. :laugh:0 -
I just put my browned meat into a strainer and let it sit inside a metal bowl to catch any possible fat that drains out. I don't bother with rinsing, as that can take the flavor away, so keep that in mind. There is such a thing as being too cautious about eating low fat. Our bodies do need some, and since you're using a 97% lean ground turkey, there is probably no fat to drain off anyway, and just the normal juices that contain the added sodium laden water that was added to it while it was ground up. That was a good question, though.0

But if my meat is naturally brown...how hot does the oven need to be before I thrust my meat in there? ANd how long before all the juices start simmering and I have to drain?0 -

^^^ I do this, but make sure you run hot water while you are draining it or it could form a grease cork in your drain.0 -

I think the average is about 97.6F, same for brown or white meat.0 -
