Cocktail Greek meatballs with tzatiki sauce.

While shopping for ground turkey breast for today’s cocktail meatballs, I noticed something interesting. I expected to see just one item on the ingredient list – ground turkey breast. But, no matter the brand, the ingredient list included rosemary extract.

At first, I thought it might be some type of seasoning blend containing salt, but the low sodium content on the nutrition label indicated that salt was not an added ingredient. As it turns out, rosemary extract is being used as a natural preservative to prevent spoilage and lengthen the shelf life of a variety of foods, including ground turkey breast.
