    • Chicken 165° F |
    • Ground Beef 160° F |

    • If using ground pork, follow same instructions as ground beef in Steps 3 and 4.

    • If using ground turkey, follow same instructions as ground beef in Steps 3 and 4, cooking until turkey reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 6-8 minutes per side.
