Why Use Ground Turkey?
You may be wondering why we chose to use ground turkey in this recipe instead of ground beef. While ground beef is delicious, it's also high in fat and calories. Ground turkey, on the other hand, is leaner and lower in calories. It's also a great source of protein, which is essential for building and repairing muscles.
