Ground Turkey

Ground turkey is raw turkey meat that has been finely minced into a cohesive, pinkish mix. It has a mild flavor, browns readily, and can dry out if overcooked due to its comparatively low fat; use it for burgers, meatballs, tacos, sauces, and chili, with common retail blends from 85% lean to extra-lean breast-only.\n\nTurkey was domesticated in North America, and modern ground turkey grew with poultry-processing advances in the late 20th century. It is common in American home cooking and adapts to Mexican-inspired, Mediterranean, and Asian seasonings; packages are labeled by lean percentage and may include light and dark meat and some skin.
