For the last 5 or so months I've been buying ground beef and seasoning it and eating it with mixed veg and rice.
The thing is I dont pay full price for shit, so I have to stockpile the beef whenever I see it marked down at a store, this is hard to predict.
In comes 97% lean ground turkey, organic.
What I have noticed is nobody buys this shit here. This means I can count the dates at every store I'm at and know exactly when all of it is marked down. I've been eating ground turkey I get for like 2 bucks a pound for a week and not only do I feel much better, it kind of tastes better.

Ground turkey is good.

This is absurd. It's a nice change from beef sometimes! It's also good in chili

i tried it ground and it has none of the texture that makes a burger a burger
I prefer turkeys before they're turned into meat anyway

Turkey is the worst meat. It just doesn't taste good in any form.

Turkeys are good in my book. They always seem to bully other people and not me. They know at some deep primal level that I'm not to be fricked with, but other people and traffic are fair game to try to intimidate and attack.

Flavor and texture are the only things people really complain about with ground turkey. But if you like it better, not a problem. Beef might have slightly more protein and vitamins though

Turkey actually has a way better protein:calorie ratio, it's even better than chicken when you're cutting. Beef tastes way better though.

maybe I've ate it too much but I don't think the texture is that much different, especially the higher fat varieties.
the flavor though misses that "beefiness" that really can time a dish together.

As far as I understood it just tastes worse compared to cow meat. I like ham the most personally so who cares.

It does require comparably more seasoning and stuff like Worcestershire or soy
sauce to approximate the juiciness of a burger, but it can be equally as tasty as cow meat if you're not a tard. They're not apples to oranges though, by any means

97% lean turkey just isn't very good. It's edible but it's dry and not a good beef substitute. The fattier stuff isn't terrible

I use enough oil in the cooking to where it comes out pretty ok tbh. I use it like stir fry chicken and then add everything else.

Yeah that's the key. It's good enough if you fatten it up and season it

It is pretty easy to grind pork from Boston butt and that can hit 99 cents a pound when on sale. Something to consider if you have decent freezer space. Plus you can use the bone to make broth

No downside besides it's not considered as tasty as beef. I like using it instead of ground beef if I'm using a creamier pasta sauce like Alfredo or Vodka sauce
It obviously is leaner so any recipe that needs the fat from ground beef won't benefit from it, but you can mix bacon with it for the same effect (though many people use ground turkey to get away from the fat so it defeats that purpose if that's your aim)
Personally if you're not against the health effects I think cooking it in bacon grease makes it taste pretty much as good as beef but obviously you shouldn't be doing that often if you care about your cardiovascular system

Let's say you're making chili with ground turkey instead of beef. By the time you add everything that goes into chili including and especially the spices and assuming you cook it properly well it still tastes different but the point is it will taste good. The same is true of anything you would do with it. Burgers? yep, season properly and add your toppings, Meatballs or lasagna yep, same deal. There's nothing magical about beef. Yes it tastes good but prepared properly turkey can and will taste just as good.

Ground turkey has a much higher chance of containing pathogenic bacteria which is fine if you're a slop cauldron but some people have a higher genetic disposition to opportunistic infection from Enterobacteriaceae.
I guess on the other hand there's higher cardiovascular and prion risks from beef but I would discount those because I want you to die.

Ground turkey is great, but most people were incorrectly taught they have to cook all poultry until it's Sahara desert dry, so when they try cooking it at home they frick up any chance of it tasting good and then blame the food rather than the cook

Some dishes ground turkey just doesn't work in place of ground beef, like pasta with meat sauce. Turkey is pretty good with like the japanese curry blocks and stuff though.

We've been using ground turkey over ground beef for years. Usually 90% though. If you want to make it taste more beef-like, add some Worcestershire and/or Montreal steak seasoning to the mix.

dont know about ground turkey, cause we dont have that here but in general ... just look at the nutrition table.
there's nothing inherently bad with ground turkey.
pork is fatty. beef is leaner. horse is leaner than beef.
in general poultry is leaner, but I dont know exactly where it fits.

It's super lean, it gets dry easily, it tastes bland, and you have to cook it well done.

I use it pretty often, makes great meatloaf and chili.
Downside is it's not as meaty as beef, esp the 97% lean, helps to add some fat to it.

Less flavor, not enough fat health wise. You'll get rabbit starvation without a fat supplement.

Ground turkey tastes better than ground beef imo. It's probably healthier or somethin too, but life is pain, so that's a downside.

If you're using a bunch of seasoning then I agree it doesn't much matter. The turkey is gonna be a fair bit healthier for you.
