Comments on: Where’s the Beef? http://frugalhacks.com/2008/10/15/wheres-the-beef/ Good stewardship in action. How do you do it?

It is 93% lean and 1.29 per pound at my local grocery. Nobody ever notices the difference when I cook it in a dish either.. grating onion on a micro grater into the meat and mixing it with a little ice water before cooking seems to do loads to keep it moist.

This reduces the price of the total dish quite a bit. My husband hates ground turkey, but when I combine it in equal parts with beef, he hasn’t noticed yet!

That's good to know. I haven't tried the fresh ground turkey. I'll check the price at my store while I'm there today. Thanks Nancy! That’s good to know. I haven’t tried the fresh ground turkey.

I usually can't tell the difference from ground beef.

Now I only buy ground beef if its marked down because its close to sale by date. My family doesnt know the difference and neither does anyone that eats at the house. Most people are shocked to find out its ground turkey instead of ground beef. And at $1.29 for a pound...its the best choice for us!! We switched to ground turkey about a year ago.

I just don't care for the taste, just personal preference. Ed & Monroe – I didn’t mean to imply that turkey isn’t a legitimate frugal choice.

I do like to buy some of the boneless skinless packs when they are half price or so. I think $1.50 - $2 per pound for actual meat (not the skin and bones) is quite reasonable.

I interchange ground turkey with ground beef very frequently. To such an extent that the two are almost synonymous with one another in my household. We have ground turkey chili, meatloaf, tacos, burgers, anything really. While it tastes significantly different I still find it delicious, regardless of application. I don't think there is one dish I eat frequently that it would be worse off with ground turkey instead of beef. But of course it is a matter of personal taste and opinion. Curious.
