If you haven't tried the Ground Chicken give it a WHIRL !! I'm not big on the Turkey burger--I think it's texture and taste- but I really like the ground chicken. I use it in burgers or anything that calls for hamburger. it's great tasting and the texture is more like hamburger. But alot less fat .

    Yes yes yes!! Make sure to buy ground chicken breast though, not ground chicken.

    Perdue makes it and for a 4oz burger cooked it is only 80 calories! And truly tasty. The only thing is that it is hard to handle, it is sticky. So I wet my hands before handling, then I pat just a bit of panko breadcrumbs on the top and bottom of the burger to make a nice crispy outside when I cook it.

    I've been a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge ground chicken breast lover for a long while! Agree with kdiamond though - the "breast" is the key word, the other stuff has more fat than a lot of ground beef you can buy.

    Chicken breast is about 100% protein, at 4 caloires per g of protein, 80 calories gets you 20g of protein and nothing else. A great way to keep those macro-nutrients on track!
