Want a healthier way to eat ground turkey and chicken? If you have a food processor it is possible. Buy the chicken or turkey breast, it cost a lil more but is better for you. Do you really know every part that is ground up when you buy ground turkey from the store? If you do it your self you know exactly what it is.

-slice into chunks and place in food processor
-add some seasoning and very small amount of extra virgin olive oil
-pulsate just until its ground

Then cook like you usually would. Notice that you won't see any extra liquid once you've cooked it. Its totally fresh with out extra fat to drain.

    If you do this with a burger it may not be as juicey so you might just want to stick with the store ground turkey. If might be too dry making it with the turkey breast.
