It's not really safe to grind your own poultry due to the higher risk of bacterial infection.
No, it's different. I have a young relative with severe GI problems and chicken was the only meat he could eat, but it had to be organic. His mom couldn't find organic ground chicken but the GI clinic said absolutely not to grind her own that it was not safe. It's not about cooking temp.

Yeah, I'm sure they were just making it up. Medical professionals tend to do that.0 -
I can't even LOOK at a meat grinder. My grandmother lost 2 of the fingers on her left hand in a meat grinder. Kinda too bad she wasn't a heavy metal music fan.0

Either you are full of crap, or 'the GI clinic' is on the take from a company that makes organic crap. 50/50 chance these days.0 -

Are you saying that the stuff in grocery stores **is safer**, even though everyone and their dog knows that mass-meat grinding operations are *guaranteed* to distribute bacteria?0 -
My butcher grinds chicken breast for me for free.
Whether that's because I'm charming or if it's because it's a free service, I don't know.
I use it to make thai chicken meatballs. Mmmmmm...0 -
OMG I read this as grinding with your own legs. Bummer.0

I buy bulk chicken and trim nicely myself. With the leaner trimmings I'll grind it up, season, make patties and freeze. Takes a few minutes to fry up with some coconut oil.0

Because I'm eating fat...? I don't see your logic. Chicken is quite lean, and I use the lean trimmings. I make my breasts weigh 10oz each. The excess gets made into patties and I know what I'm using, it's not getting made for me.0 -

I buy cuts of meat as they are on sale, store them in the freezer and when I feel I have enough for a batch, I thaw it out, grind it and refreeze in quart freezer bags. It saves money and is much leaner than store bought grinds. When turkeys are on sale before Thanksgiving, I buy one or two extra and grind them up. I also make my own sausage out of ground boston butts, much lower sodium and fat than store packages of sausage. Alton Brown has a great breakfast sausage recipe that I love.0

Disappointing thread is disappointing

I've been grinding chicken, beef, pork, and lamb in my food processor for years because I'm completely grossed out by what goes into commercially ground meat. As far as I know, I'm not dead yet. I was very excited to get a meat grinder attachment for my kitchenware mixer this year for Christmas. I think that definitely makes me a geek.0

1)His mom couldn't find organic ground chicken but the GI clinic said absolutely not to grind her own that it was not safe. It's not about cooking temp.
-absolutely untrue for bacteria proper, but if your meat (or dirty grinder) is already infected with Clostridium, the botulism toxin they make can persist at temps up to about 180 F.
2) I use my KitchenAid grinder to grind all sorts of meats and love it.
3) Recently got the sausage stuffer bit for the KA, and homemade sausage is fantastically different from commercial or even Grocery Store prepared sausage. Plus you KNOW what is in it.0 -
im sure it is because you are very charming.0

Why thank you!0 -
Not all it's cracked up to be. Since I separated from my wife last year I've been grinding my own meat a lot more often. Leaves something to be desired.
LMAO!! Hahahaha!0
