Why choose ground turkey?

• Healthy lean protein – ground turkey is one of the healthiest protein choices you can make. It is naturally low in fat and higher in protein than things like ground beef and ground pork. I like to get the 93/7 variety that is 93% fat free and 7% fat. You can use this version in any recipe!
• Affordable – ground turkey is usually much more affordable than other proteins like chicken breast and ground beef. You can also buy it in larger quantities and freeze for later to save even more money.
• Easy to cook with – It is SO easy to cook with ground turkey and makes cooking meals so fast. No need to cut, chop or marinate the meat. Just pull the container out of the fridge and start cooking!
