About Ground turkey

Ground turkey is a versatile, lean protein made from finely chopped turkey meat, often a mix of white and dark cuts. Originating from turkey poultry, it is commonly used in cuisines worldwide, including American, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes. Packed with nutrients, it is a good source of high-quality protein, B vitamins, selenium, and phosphorus, which support muscle growth, energy production, and overall health. Compared to higher-fat ground meats, ground turkey is lower in saturated fat, making it a heart-healthy choice when opting for lean varieties. However, the fat content can vary; blends with more dark meat or skin may have higher fat levels, so reading labels is essential. It's a popular substitute for ground beef in recipes like burgers, meatloaf, and tacos, offering similar flavors with fewer calories and less fat. For the healthiest option, choose 93%-99% lean ground turkey and pair it with nutrient-rich ingredients.
