  5. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spices are very fragrant.
  6. 3. Brown the Turkey: Add the ground turkey (16.0 oz / 454 g) to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into smaller pieces and cook for about 2 minutes, until it's almost cooked through but still slightly pink.
