Up until two months ago ground turkey was my main substitute
for ground beef, that was until I
discovered ground chicken. I don’t think
I will ever buy ground turkey again! I started cooking with ground turkey
because it is healthier than ground beef.
However, ground turkey was an acquired taste for me because of its texture,
it’s clumpy unlike ground chicken which crumbles better and has a texture
similar to ground beef. I know crumble
and clumpy aren’t sophisticated culinary terms to describe ground meat but those
are the only words I could think of. My
experience with ground chicken has been totally different. The first time I tried ground chicken I thought
it was ground beef. I loved it and I have
been cooking with it ever since.
Here’s a recipe for ground chicken sliders, each slider is
only 77 calories. For the recipe I used Perdue’s ground chicken not the ground
chicken breast. The ground chicken
breast meat is leaner and lower in calories but I find that it’s a not as moist
as the ground chicken that contains dark meat.
