    That shit is so gross.... I wanna puke just thinking about it.

    I use to make burritos with it (mix in some brown rice, low fat/low carb salsa/peppers/onions) and I ate them everyday for like 6 months.

    I get sick just thinking about them now.

    Where I shop the ground turkey is like ground beef, it comes with different amounts of fat. There is lean ground turkey that has like 5% fat or regular with like 20% fat.

    Same at the stores I go to. You just have to watch each individual package but the majority of them do have macronutrient breakdowns on the labels at the stores I shop at. It basically just depends on how much skin that they've ground up into it.

    Yeah, the fat % makes a big difference. The 99% ground turkey for example is a very good source of pure protein:

    120 calories
    1g fat
    28g protein

    This is the fresh 98% lean ground turkey, I asked the buthcher he said
    3.5oz had 26gr prtein and one gram of fat. I just switched to this, tired of chicken needed a change. It just feels that im not loosing fat as fast as I would on chicken or just holding more water.

    Thanks for the inputs though
