Ground turkey is a versatile protein made from turkey meat, often including a mix of dark and light cuts. Popular in American, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines, it serves as a lean alternative to ground beef in recipes like burgers, meatballs, tacos, and stir-fries. Known for its mild flavor, it pairs well with a variety of spices and seasonings. Nutritionally, ground turkey is a rich source of high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair and growth. It is typically lower in saturated fats and calories compared to ground beef, especially if made with lean cuts, making it a heart-healthy option. However, standard ground turkey may include higher fat content depending on the ratio of dark meat. Choosing lean ground turkey (93% or higher) ensures the health benefits are maximized. Packed with vitamins like B6 and B12 and minerals such as zinc and selenium, this ingredient supports energy production and immune health.
