Ground Turkey

Ground Turkey

Everyday

Ground turkey is a lean poultry product made by finely grinding turkey meat, typically combining both dark and white meat portions. It offers a high-protein, lower-saturated-fat alternative to ground beef, with fat content varying from 7% to 15% depending on the meat-to-skin ratio. While exceptionally versatile for burgers, tacos, and meat sauces, its lower fat content requires careful cooking to prevent dryness, often benefiting from added moisture like broth or vegetables.
