Ground turkey or chicken is a versatile protein option made by finely grinding lean cuts of poultry. Commonly used in recipes across various cuisines, including American, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes, it serves as a lighter alternative to ground beef. Rich in essential nutrients such as protein, B vitamins, and minerals like selenium and phosphorus, ground turkey or chicken supports muscle development and overall energy metabolism. Its lean profile makes it especially appealing for those seeking heart-healthy or weight management choices. However, nutritional content can vary—while lean versions are low in saturated fat, blends with added skin or fat may contain higher levels. Opt for 93% lean or higher variants for a healthier choice, and consider low-sodium seasonings to limit overall salt intake. Whether used for meatballs, tacos, or stir-fries, ground turkey or chicken is a flexible ingredient that complements diverse diets and flavors.
