🦃 Ground Turkey Recipes

Ground turkey is the most versatile lean protein in your kitchen. A 150 gram serving delivers 27 grams of protein with just 8 grams of fat. It browns in under 10 minutes, absorbs any seasoning and costs less than most other proteins.

Ground turkey vs ground chicken

Both are lean options, but ground turkey has a slightly richer flavor and holds together better in burgers and meatballs. Turkey also tends to be cheaper. Use 93 percent lean for the best balance of flavor and macros — lean enough to be healthy, enough fat to stay moist during cooking.
