How to Freeze and Defrost Meat | Eater

"Run by owner and lead butcher George Turkette, this Indianapolis shop emphasizes freezer-friendly practices: its wax-lined butcher paper helps prevent ice crystals, so the best approach is to leave meat in the shop’s packaging or ask for wax-coated paper when you plan to freeze. Turkette also recommends portioning roasts into one- or two-pound pieces to simplify freezing and defrosting, and notes that stewing and braising cuts are reliable, budget-friendly choices—though nicer steaks and pork will hold up for a couple months if packaged properly." - Elazar Sontag

BEST RESTAURANT IN INDIANAPOLIS, honestly probably in the entire state, midwest, this side of the Mississippi. Anyway, my husband and I lived in Indianapolis for 2 years and had the absolute pleasure of dining here at least once if not several times a week. The food, staff, the vibes, are all amazing. Choosing what to eat is the most difficult part because it’s all so good. The beer, wine, and drink selections are also *chefs kiss*. They also have a beautiful market of groceries and of course, meats. If you’re in the area and don’t go here, your trip to Indianapolis is all for naught.

Hadn’t been here before so decided to give them a try during the pandemic. Ordered Saturday brunch for curbside pickup,and it was great 👍 I had the bagel and lox - omg to die for! My partner had the egg biscuit sandwich and these risotto balls in a red sauce, also fabulous. It was a lot of delicious food and a great value. Will be back! Thanks Turchetti’s!

My wife and I took a camping trip this weekend so I decided to upgrade a bit from the typical Kroger meat for our campfire meals and boy, did Turchetti's deliver! The flavor of the meat was so rich and juicy, and it cooked so perfectly on the campfire! We thoroughly enjoyed every bite! I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for high quality meats and groceries. Their customer service was exceptional and the selection of items is impressive. I can't wait to visit again soon!

We went and tried the brunch menu today. I will be dreaming about this baked ricotta pancake for awhile. It kind of reminded me of gulab jamun balls you can get at indiana restaurants. Very delicious. The biscuits and gravy were just okay. The biscuits was great but the gravy was meh. The chorizo casserole was good as well! They have a basic breakfast platter as well. They were very kind and quick to get our food. We will go back!

Wow. Wife’s burger looked really good, then mine came out with a perfect fried egg on top! Tasted even better than it looked.

Might be the best smash burger I’ve had in Indy. Incredibly juicy, delicious sauce, and *just* messy enough. I added a 2nd patty and didn’t regret it, but a single 4oz patty would be plenty all on its own. The tallow fries were next level. Perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Frying them in tallow makes them burst with flavor. No ketchup needed. One of the quickest meals I’ve ever eaten. Had to slow myself down towards the end so I could savor it. Highly recommend. And wonderful people!

Fabulous flavors, seasoning, and presentation in an unpretentious, accessible community environment! Must have french toast, smash burger and fries, chorizo skillet and eggs benedict. Lots o mimosas also makes for an excellent brunch!

Can you say oh my gosh, when it comes to this sandwich shop, all I can say is top notch. They have a good selective sandwich menu. It was so good, you must truly try this restaurant if your in the area, I will definitely be back. They also have some great tasting Lemonade as well. Very friendly environment, and the service was excellent!
