Ground turkey ??

[sirsmokey]

Hey ! I wasn't sure where to post this so i am just sticking it in general.  I have been dieting during the weekdays and been looking for some alternatives. I was wondering if anyone grinds their own turkey?? I usually buy it from the store already ground about 7/93. It has been getting a little costly.  I was maybe considering making some turkey sausage but also just want to use it as a beef replacement during the week (weekends are bloody red meat!!!!!).  Do you just buy a turkey and cut all the meat off and grind away or is there only certain parts you can use? Also, if making turkey sausage, what section/sections are best? I know this is a little off topic for this forum but im sure somebody has knowledge on this. Thanks ahead of time!!

John this fits right into the Sausage section and I'll move it there. You can grind any part of the turkey pretty much treat it like any other sausage you make as far as safety standards and you'll be fine.

ok thank you for the info AND moving this!!! After reading it after i posted i kinda thought maybe that's where it belonged.. I guess ill just go grab a whole turkey and grind it up !!! 1.19 a pound is much cheaper than 4.99!!

That's exactly what I'd do in fact I might have to buy some too since you got me thinking

Count me in, I've been paying way to much for turkey breakfast sausage. I'll be following your lead and grinding a turkey. I'm off to find a good sausage recipe!
