Beef seems to be the most common meat people reach for when a dish calls for ground meat. I’d say most blogs I read use beef a lot, and often people follow a recipe to the letter. But, did you know you can make amazing keto ground turkey recipes too? I’ve included many Mexican and Asian takeout inspired recipes below so get your appetite ready.
Ground Beef vs. Ground Turkey in Cooking
Whether a recipe calls for turkey, ground chicken or ground beef, you can use them interchangeably. Just keep in mind that turkey is a lot milder in flavor so you really want to amp things up. This means that you should be sure to season your dish to taste when using ground turkey.
You should also know that ground turkey is naturally lower in fat than beef. So, I personally prefer to enjoy ground turkey in recipes that have broth, gravy, or other sauce.
Not interested in experimenting? No worries, all of the keto ground turkey recipes below taste great!
