Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using Beyond Sausage, crumble into bite-sized pieces. Follow same instructions as Italian sausage in Step 2, breaking up "sausage", until it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 6-8 minutes. Vegetarian sausage will not brown.

  • If using shrimp, pat dry. Follow same instructions as Italian sausage in Step 2, cooking undisturbed until shrimp reaches minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

  • If using chicken breasts, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Follow same instructions as Italian sausage in Step 2, stirring occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using steak strips, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Follow same instructions as Italian sausage in Step 2, stirring occasionally until no pink remains and steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.
