Yes, ground chicken is a direct swap. Turkey is slightly leaner with a milder flavor. You won't need to adjust cooking times or seasoning amounts.
The pan must be hot before the protein goes in โ add oil and wait until it shimmers. Pat the protein completely dry first (moisture prevents browning). Don't crowd the pan; cook in batches with space between each piece.
