Why do so many people here eat ground turkey over ground beef?

Variety maybe?

If you're comparing from she same fat content like 85/15 they're pretty close nutritionally with the beef having slightly more calories. Protein is about the same by weight.

I asked a fellow Powerlifter this question a while back. He told me his Doc told him that despite being lean (6% to 4%) red meat does not digest as easily as turkey meat. I call BS, but take it FWIW. He quit eating read meat three years ago. Poor guy.

How many posters here do this?

I use it for variety. Used to use it because it is cheaper

The only time I prefer using ground turkey is for grilling burgers. There is no flare up with turkey.

Main reason, not having to strain ground beef. I can cook ground turkey for spaghetti or tacos and just go straight to sauce. Even lean ground beef usually has a little grease cooked out. Turkey fat renders dowm differently. That and the cost

Burgers on the pit, then ground beef. Easy dishes that use ground meat....turkey

i like ground turkey alot. Alot less greasy. But im talking about just eating ground meat, or chili, spaghetti, etc.... if we talkn burgers its gota be beef (or deer)

my primary reason is expenses and ease.

Harris Teeter this week has ground turkey with no antibiotics etc. on a huge sale. I got 3 lbs for less than $10. That's a good number of meals

I have been throwing it into a little meal with cauliflower rice and kale with hot sauce. Not a bad lunch for the office
