Commodity Recipes to Add to Your School’s Fall Menu

Gen Alpha has more diverse and adventurous tastes than previous generations. And according to Datassential, 80% of parents say their children’s tastes and interests widen as they grow. Here are just a few of the many ways to use commodity turkey products in dishes that balance familiarity with bold flavors:

 

Turkey Tenderloin Medallions

Fully cooked, boneless and skinless, these individually sliced medallions make prep a snap. Bake them into breakfast recipes such as this Cheesy Turkey & Broccoli Casserole, or roll them up for lunch in a Turkey Cool Wrap. For a craveable option with global flavors, try them in this Sweet Thai Chili Turkey Over Fried Rice.

 

Fully Cooked Turkey Burger

Get creative with these patties, made with premium ground turkey meat and complete with grill marks. Spotlight tropical flavors for breakfast or lunch in a Turkey Loco Moco, serve up some sunshine with the Cali Fresh Turkey Burger or lean into the “swicy” trend with this Sriracha Honey Turkey Burger with Asian Slaw.

 

Turkey Thigh Roast

Ready to be sliced, diced or shredded, turkey thigh roast is great in delicious breakfast dishes like a Shredded Turkey Breakfast Burrito Bowl. Or dig into the “swavory” trend with this BBQ-Glazed Thigh Roast Sandwich, made with BBQ sauce, pickles and red onions. This product  pairs excellently with global flavors, for example in these Jerk Turkey Street Tacos, featuring a sweet-and-tangy pineapple salsa and creamy coleslaw.

 

Thick Sliced Turkey Breast Steak

This fully cooked product is made from premium white meat and ready to add to a variety of dishes. Try it in a Sweet & Sour Turkey Breakfast Wrap including veggies and eggs, or an Asian Turkey Philly Cheesesteak featuring Kikkoman Teriyaki Glaze. Use it to serve up tangy comfort with the barbecue-inspired Creamy Alabama White Turkey Sandwich.
