I usually use plastic containers with lids. You might try that next time and see if it makes a difference.

When I have cooked ground beef (seasoned or not), frozen it, then thawed for a recipe, it seems to have a stale or “old” taste to it. My husband can tell every time when I’ve used gb that was not cooked fresh. It doesn’t seem to matter if it is in the freezer a short time, or long time. I generally used zip top freezer bags. Any ideas of what I need to do differently? It is so nice to have the meat already cooked, but I have gotten away from doing it since he doesn’t care for the taste. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

Other than the basic taste difference of beef v. turkey, I think it works fine. But, you could easily divide the recipe in 4 and make a small batch first.

Thanks so much, Jessica! Did you like them with turkey or did they turn out rubbery like the store-bought ones? Sorry to bother you; I just don’t want to waste 4 lbs of meat.

Has anyone tried these with ground turkey meat? I’m curious if they would taste pretty similar or not.
Thanks!!
