Ground Turkey

Ground Turkey is a versatile ground poultry commonly used in American and global cuisines as a leaner alternative to ground red meat; it appears in dishes from burgers and meatballs to sauces and tacos. Per 100 g it supplies about 26.9g of protein, making it a convenient animal source of high-quality amino acids, and it also provides B12 and selenium, nutrients often valued in meat. It is relatively low in carbohydrates and tends to be lower in saturated fat than many red meats, which contributes to good satiety and protein quality; however, like most plain ground meats it contains little or no fiber, so pairing it with vegetables or whole grains is a simple way to balance a meal.
