Looking to find quality lean ground turkey or lean minced beef.

 

Lean ground turkey?

 

Villa and others have minced beef but it doesn't say what % is fat, would love to know 80/20 or what contents....

 

Thank you

Ground Turkey ... good luck

Ground Beef, you could go be type of cut ground ...

 

"The following percentages are used as a guideline for specific cuts:

Ground chuck: 80 to 85 percent lean/15 to 20 percent fat

Ground round: 85 to 90 percent lean/10 to 15 percent fat

Ground sirloin: 90 to 92 percent lean/8 to 10 percent fat"

Or simply buy you own & grind.  Have done that, and TBH, wasn't worth the hassle.

If you do, get large pieces from the freezer case.  Eye, Loin & short ribs.  Since going to grind anyway, a crapy piece with excess fat is a plus.

 

I actually prefer one of the local brand, for ground beef in the freezer case, and 3Bs from OZ comes in close 2nd, though too many hard bits the local brand has less of, if any.

 

Sometimes I'll even buy the fresh ground, if looks & smells fresh, though rare.
