Ground Turkey Knowledge

  • Low calorie, high in protein
  • Compared to beef, much less saturated fat and cholesterol.
  • Options: Like beef, there are fat ratio options. Go for 90/10 or 85/15. These are combos of breast meat and dark meat.
  • Use it to substitute ground beef in almost any recipe – meatballs, bolognese, tacos, and even burgers.
  • Has a subtle flavor.
