Ground turkey is a great and healthy alternative to ground beef. Try swapping it into your favorite recipes. It’s low in fat and high in protein, but since it can dry out easily, make sure to add lots of flavor and moisture to your recipes, and serve them immediately to prevent them from drying out.
