  • I found it in the food database when I searched ground meat. The nutritional value depends on how lean the beef is.

    I did too.
    I had a turkey burger for dinner and I don't miss ground beef at all.
    I think I've posted the recipe for the turkey burger if not, here it is:

    Instead of using burger buns, I used whole wheat pita bread.
    You can split the pita's open.
