Ground Turkey

Ground turkey is raw meat from turkeys that has been finely chopped or minced. It is made from all parts of the turkey, including the skin and fat, which gives it a different flavor and texture than ground chicken. It is a common ingredient in many home-cooked and commercially prepared meals.

Ground turkey is used as a protein source in a wide variety of dishes. Manufacturers use it in products like meatballs, burgers, chili, and sausages. Its versatility allows it to be substituted for ground beef in many recipes.

Ground turkey is a source of protein and other nutrients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it a safe food ingredient. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated turkey as a food. It is not typically associated with significant health controversies when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
