Turkey Liver

Store fresh turkey liver in the coldest part of your refrigerator, ideally on a plate or in a sealed container to prevent contamination. For longer storage, freeze raw liver.

Soak turkey liver in milk for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking to mellow its flavor and tenderize it.

Avoid overcooking, as this will make the liver tough and dry. Aim for a slightly pink center.

Turkey liver is excellent when finely chopped and mixed with butter, herbs, and spices for a quick pâté.
