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.

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
