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

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground turkey, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Hold romaine heart at root end and chop coarsely.

    Cook the Ground Beef

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.
