Good nutritional profile
Ground turkey (about 93% lean), values for raw meat.
Minced turkey, usually a mix of light and dark meat, used for burgers, meatballs, chili and pasta sauces in place of ground beef. A 150 g raw portion gives about 220 kcal, 29.5 g of protein and 11.5 g of fat, and is high in niacin, vitamin B6, selenium, phosphorus and zinc. It has about half the fat of 85/15 ground beef; ground turkey breast labeled fat-free is leaner still. Expect it to lose about a quarter of its weight in cooking.
